The Athletic FC Podcast · Can Bellingham win England the World Cup? · 12 Jul 2026 podcast

he can still create chances better than just about anyone in that position so they they have they have strength and they have depth i just worry that the other teams particularly one team in the other half of the draw has more of both yeah

No, I think they've been the most entertaining team at the last two World Cups because this is very much a continuation of what they were like in 2022 as well.

I mean, I think the difference is at the last World Cup, they controlled most of games and it was the spells in which they lost control in which crazy things happened that they had to dig themselves out of.

Whereas this time, it's felt like they've had long stretches not in control of games and they've had to pull themselves back from the brink a lot.

But they have this remarkable resilience.

Don't talk to Thomas Tuchel about mentality with England.

Gabriel Clarke found that.

But I think Argentina might be even mentally stronger, given that they've already experienced what it takes to win this tournament once.

I'm not sure they're quite good enough to do it again this time.

but they're clearly good enough to go close.

And the thing that you would look at as maybe being slightly ominous is that it didn't have to be Messi against Switzerland.

For most of this tournament, it's had to be Messi.

If not him, then no one, because Julian Alvarez, until that shot against Switzerland, had done very little in this tournament and had not looked anywhere close to 100%.

Lautaro Martinez has not been the same player for Argentina that he is for Inter, certainly not a major tournament player.

so and Angel Di Maria is not there anymore so it really is Messi most of the time but he gets a he gets a remarkable level of commitment out of the rest of those Argentine players they have a couple of warriors at centre-back in Martinez and Romero who do make mistakes but have a remarkable ability to make up for them often at the other end and they have battlers all over the pitch so I think it's going to be yeah an epic epic contest in that game and

The good thing for England is, thank you, Switzerland, for taking Argentina to extra time after that 120 minutes in Miami.

I think England will be very, very grateful that they're playing the only team in this tournament that has played more minutes than them to get to this point and is older than them.

So that could stand them in good stead.

But you just never feel great when I think you look across the halfway line at the start of the game and you see Messi staring back at you.

Yeah, I personally felt it was a justified use.
