England captain Harry Kane addressed the squad's unity ahead of their World Cup semi-final against Argentina, stating they are "completely together." This comes after Jude Bellingham's response to Thomas Tuchel's critique of their performance against Norway. England secured a challenging 2-1 victory in Miami and now face the defending champions.

Tuchel had commented that England "got lucky" and was unhappy with their play. Bellingham's brief reply, "Yeah, well, whatever. It's difficult out there," sparked discussion. Kane defended Bellingham, explaining that it's easy to "create this division" in major tournaments but emphasized the team's success stems from "complete togetherness." He also praised Tuchel's authentic management style.

England faces Lionel Messi's Argentina, with left-back Nico O'Reilly calling it a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity" to play against the legendary player. Messi, nearing the end of his career, has already set World Cup scoring records, tying Miroslav Klose's record of 16 and then surpassing it with a total of 21 goals. Goalkeeper Jordan Pickford cautioned against focusing solely on Messi, highlighting Argentina's overall team strength.

The winner will advance to the final against either France or Spain.
