The dust has barely settled on the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and if we’re completely honest, we're still thinking about what could have been.
When Anthony Gordon put England ahead in the 55th minute of that fateful semi-final against Argentina, we all dared to dream. Even after Enzo Fernández's late equaliser, it felt like our year—until Lautaro MartĂnez's heartbreaking 92nd-minute winner shattered the illusion and sent Argentina to the final instead.
Spain ultimately lifted the trophy after a tense 1-0 victory over Argentina in New York, while the Three Lions secured their best finish since 1966 by taking third place with that unbelievable 6-4 win against France.
But we can't help but wonder: What if England hadn't lost to Argentina? How would we have fared against the newly crowned World Champions in the World Cup Final?
