The Argentine press celebrated on Thursday the qualification of the national football team to the 2026 World Cup final after a 2-1 victory over England on Wednesday. Argentine newspapers described the match as a 'historic clash', affirming that the 'Albiceleste' players once again touched the feelings of Argentines. La Nación, one of Argentina's leading newspapers, wrote: 'The team once again touched the heart of Argentina, eliminated England, and now dreams of a new historic title', adding: 'In a match charged with excitement, the team played and fought for millions of Argentines, and achieved a victory that will remain immortal in memory.' Meanwhile, the newspaper Clarín headlined its front page: 'With a pure heart... Argentina turns the tables on England', stating that the 'Albiceleste' cemented its place as the best team in the history of Argentine sports. The sports newspaper Olé described the players as 'heroes', praising a 'historic comeback' that included a new epic for the team. In a sarcastic headline, the newspaper Página 12 wrote: 'He who does not jump... will not play the final', a twist on the famous chant of Argentine fans: 'He who does not jump is English.' The website TyC Sports chose a striking headline: 'Animals... Argentina in the final, and England still waiting', in reference to the famous remarks of Alf Ramsey, England's coach, during the 1966 World Cup, when he prevented his players from exchanging shirts with Argentine players after a quarterfinal match, before publicly calling them 'animals'. Meanwhile, the newspaper Perfil headlined: 'Argentina put England on its knees', noting that the country is experiencing a festive atmosphere and is eagerly awaiting Sunday's match against Spain in the World Cup final.
