World Cup: Messi Confirms England ‘Lost Will To Play’ After Draw With Argentina
On Wednesday evening (15/7), Argentina defeated England 2-1 in a crucial World Cup semifinal match in Russia. Argentina's number 10, Lionel Messi, described a surprising moment of offensive apathy from the English side during the game.
In the mixed zone after the match, Messi revealed: “It was a huge emotion. When we equalized, we felt the fans' support because we realized we could win within 90 minutes. We already had them cornered. We were getting in through the middle, from the wings, creating chances with crosses, through balls… We felt they didn't want to play anymore, and we were very close to victory.”
Road to the Final
With this result, Argentina advances to contend for the title against Spain next Sunday (19/7) at MetLife Stadium, in New York/New Jersey. The match will be a historic reunion between the national teams.
What Changes Now?
After the 1-1 draw, the fans helped us impressively once again. As I said, Argentina is highly motivated for the upcoming clash against Spain. We are going for the title!
