Messi and England collide for the first time ever — 21 years after fate kept dodging it. Both sides limped through extra time to get here: Argentina grinding past ten-man Switzerland 3-1 on an Álvarez screamer, England needing a Bellingham brace to shake off Norway. Now the 39-year-old GOAT, still the tournament's joint-top scorer, walks into Atlanta chasing the one rivalry his 200-cap career somehow never touched.

And what a rivalry to inherit. England's wins in 1962 and 1966. Maradona's Hand of God in '86. Owen's wonder goal and Beckham's red card in '98. Beckham's redemption strike in 2002. Will Messi write himself into history?

That plus much more previewed on this week's Just For Kicks!
