Former Manchester United star Paul Scholes believes Argentina possesses a vital upper hand against England as the two nations prepare for their upcoming World Cup semi-final match. Both teams advanced to this stage after securing quarter-final victories over Switzerland and Norway, respectively.
During an appearance on The Good, The Bad & The Football podcast, Scholes noted that the tournament journeys for both squads have been quite comparable. While he observed that neither side has displayed peak performance levels, they both successfully navigated their path to the final four.
Scholes highlighted that the primary benefit for the Argentine team is their established history of succeeding in high-stakes tournament environments. He emphasized that while Argentina understands the demands of winning crucial matches, England has yet to demonstrate that same level of experience on this grand stage.
