"Tomorrow we play against pirate usurpers. This is not just another match. I will not be politically correct and I will not hold back: playing against the English is always something more. This is the Malvinas Islands, this is Diego (Maradona), this is Leo's (Lionel Messi) last tournament, and this is the chance to stop the invaders. Go, Argentina! Because until our last breath, we will demand what is ours!" wrote Villarreal on social media platform X. The particular tension surrounding the match is fueled not only by football rivalry but also by the long-standing political conflict over the Falkland Islands (referred to as Malvinas in Argentina). In 1982, a war broke out between the United Kingdom and Argentina over this archipelago, resulting in the deaths of 649 Argentine and 255 British servicemen. The England vs. Argentina match will take place today at 22:00 Latvian time. The winner will advance to the final, where they will face the Spanish national team.
