World Cup: They'll play like France - Kevin Pietersen predicts Argentina vs England

World Cup: Kevin Pietersen has predicted that England will beat Argentina in tonight’s 2026 FIFA World Cup semi-final in Atlanta. The former England cricketer said the defending champions would “play like France played,” referencing France’s 2-0 loss to Spain on Tuesday night. Pietersen made the forecast in a tweet on Wednesday via his X account ahead of Argentina’s clash with the Three Lions. His comments draw a direct comparison between France’s handling in the previous match and how England could approach Argentina. The winners of England vs Argentina will then set up the World Cup final, while the loser would play in the third-place match on Saturday against the other semi-final finalist.
