That day, it was very much about the war and eventual champions Argentina won 2-1 with Diego Maradona scoring both goals.
His second goal was one of the greatest goals of all time, but his first was the most infamous.
Using his hand, he punched the ball past England goalkeeper Peter Shilton.
You'll know this as the hand of God.
It's now 40 years later.
Has Shilton forgotten and forgiven?
12 years later and on to France 98.
18-year-old Michael Owen scored a goal nearly as good as Maradona's to put England in front, but the game was remembered for David Beckham's petulant kick-out at Diego Simeone, which saw him get sent off.
Argentina went on to win the match on penalties and the English newspapers were absolutely fuming.
One famous headline read, 10 heroic lions, one stupid boy.
Here were the reactions of some England fans the day after.
He used to be sharp, really.
He lost us the game.
Maybe a little bit extreme in hindsight.
Anyway, Beckham made amends four years later when he scored the winning goal for England when they met Argentina in the group stage of the 2002 tournament.
That win made it 3-2 to England in World Cup meetings.
64 years after their first encounter, today's match is maybe the biggest yet with a place in the final at stake.
It's also Lionel Messi's first ever match against England.
Will he end up being the hero, or will England end the Argentinian legend's dreams of lifting a second consecutive World Cup?
Whatever happens, we know this one will go down in history.
