England's Advantage
Thomas Tuchel's team needed extra time to qualify for the 2026 World Cup semi-finals against Norway, which Lionel Scaloni's team also needed to overcome Switzerland and advance to the semi-finals.
Although the Argentine and English teams have secured their places in the 2026 World Cup semi-finals, their paths have revealed a difference that could be physically costly.
Given that both teams needed extra time in the quarter-finals, the English team will face the Tango dancers on Wednesday while being less fatigued.
England defeated Norway 2-1 in extra time, marking their first knockout match to go beyond 90 minutes, while Argentina played two matches that went to extra time, the first in the round of 32 against Cape Verde, and the second against Switzerland in the quarter-finals.

The fierce competition for the left-wing position between the Paris Saint-Germain duo, Désiré Doué and Bradley Barcola, has imposed itself as one of the most prominent features of the "Les Bleus" camp in the World Cup.
Doué is close to starting against Spain as a reward for his strong and decisive performance against Morocco by providing an assist for a goal in the 2-0 victory, joining the trio of Michael Olise, Ousmane Dembélé, and Kylian Mbappé.
