CALM OFFICIATING
The referee quickly puts out the fire, so to speak and we are back into the action.
That's proof right there, that there's plenty of needle out on that pitch. A proper cup tie!

FIREWORKS!
Anderson hits the deck and stays down after Enzo Fernandez goes through the back of him.
Both sets of players argue and come together. It follows a challenge on Messi that Argentina felt was a foul.

H2H
This is the sixth meeting between the two nations at the World Cup.
England have secured three victories with Argentina claiming two.
The Three Lions triumphed in 1962, 1966 and 2002.
La Albiceleste prevailed in the 1986 quarter-final thanks Diego Maradona’s ‘Hand of God’ as well as in the R16 in 1998 when the South Americans won on penalties following a 2-2 draw.

FORMER ENGLAND STARS TALK BELLINGHAM, KANE AND ARGENTINA'S DEFENCE
"He's always on the edge. You can't have 11 Jude Bellinghams in the squad, but the one that we've got isn't bad," Joe Hart told the BBC when asked about the Real Madrid midfielder's temperament.
Wayne Rooney: "I think these two Argentine centre-backs suit Harry Kane down to the ground. The way Harry plays, comes deep to collect the ball, these two centre-backs will come all the way with Kane so it's important the likes of Morgan Rogers, Anthony Gordon and Bellingham exploit that space in behind."

'WHO ELSE?' - BIG-MATCH BELLINGHAM KEEPS DELIVERING FOR ENGLAND
The Three Lions have notched seven goals so far in the knockout stage with the Real Madrid man either netting or assisting five of them.
Indeed, the 23-year-old has scored twice in each of his country's last two KO matches, which sees him become the first English player to do so at a WC.
