00:00England versus Argentina in the semi-finals of a World Cup could be one of the tournament's
00:04biggest games ever and here's why. To start things off we've got the obvious history. You've got
00:10Diego Maradona's hand of God and ridiculous solo goal in the same game in 1986. You've then got
00:16David Beckham's red card and penalty loss for England 12 years later and four years after that
00:21his revenge game where his match-winning penalty went some way to knocking Argentina at the group
00:26stage in 2002. Then we've got England's own ambitions ending 60 years of her reaching the
00:32first World Cup final since 1966 and not having to look back on another tournament asking what if.
00:38And lastly you've got the small matter of Lionel Messi playing against England for the first time
00:41in his career. The man who has done it all, won everything and then some on the charge for
00:46consecutive World Cup trophies. He's dismantled English teams in the past in European competition
00:51but international football is a different beast. This game sits on the knife edge. We could see
00:56Lionel Messi lead his side through against their fiercest rivals into another World Cup final or
01:01we could see him bow out probably of international football at the hands of their fiercest rivals.
01:07This is what they call unmissable.
