Argentina will meet Spain in Sunday’s World Cup final after a dramatic 2-1 comeback over England in a semifinal that fully lived up to the rivalry’s history. England struck first through Anthony Gordon in the 55th minute, but Argentina found their response late, Enzo Fernandez leveling before Lautaro Martinez headed home Lionel Messi’s stoppage-time cross to settle a charged contest in Atlanta. The result sends the defending champions into a second straight final and leaves England to rue another near miss on the biggest stage. In North American sport, there was relief for Tampa Bay after All-Star slugger Junior Caminero left the MLB showcase when a 98 mph pitch struck his left hand; X-rays were negative. And in the NHL, Detroit opened a new chapter as Steve Yzerman stepped down as Red Wings general manager, moving into a senior advisory role while the club searches for fresh leadership.
