또 터진 '축구 전쟁'…아르헨티나-잉글랜드 라이벌전 뒤에 숨겨진 진짜 역사

On the path to the CONCACAF World Cup final, defending champion Argentina achieved a dramatic comeback victory by defeating the home of football, England, 2-1. With 39-year-old Lionel Messi playing a pivotal role by assisting both goals, the match unfolded amidst a rough and intense psychological battle, marked by 19 fouls in the first half alone. The clash between the two teams carries deep historical animosity that transcends a simple football match. Since the 1982 Falkland War (Malvinas War) over sovereignty in the South Atlantic, every encounter on the World Cup stage has generated significant narratives, such as Maradona's "Hand of God" incident and David Beckham's red card. Immediately after this match, Argentine players held up banners asserting their territorial claims, demonstrating that the football war on the pitch is still ongoing. #Argentina #England #WorldCup ⓒ Seoul Shinmun.
