Former Chelsea midfielder Joe Cole has expressed confidence that England will overcome Argentina in the semi-final of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The Three Lions booked their place in the last four after edging Norway 2-1 in the quarter-finals, while Lionel Messi and his teammates required extra time to eliminate 10-man Switzerland.

Speaking on The Rest Is Football podcast, Cole said he believes England have what it takes to put Argentina “to sleep”.

He said: “Messi facing England for the first time? We are going to put him to sleep.

“We are going to put him to sleep, 100%.

“I am saying it right now, England will reach the World Cup Final.

“We have too much pace for Argentina’s strengths, we are going to beat them, I can feel it in my bones.”
