Bet £10 get £40 in free bets with BoyleSports ahead of England vs Argentina

Jul 15, 2026 - 08:15

England and Argentina meet at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Wednesday in a first-ever World Cup semi-final between the sides. England have never faced Lionel Messi in 26 years of international football, while Argentina arrive unbeaten in their last 12 World Cup matches.

Ahead of a first-ever World Cup semi-final meeting between these two rivals, BoyleSports are offering new customers the chance to net £40 in free bets ahead of this mid-week clash. Simply sign up via our link, deposit £10 or more, and place a £10 qualifying bet at odds of Evens or better.

England have made hard work of the knockout rounds, needing a stoppage-time leveller and an extra-time winner from Jude Bellingham in the first half to see off Norway after Andreas Schjelderup’s early opener.

It continued a pattern of leaving things late that also included Harry Kane’s brace against DR Congo and Bellingham’s two goals in two minutes against Mexico, with the Real Madrid midfielder and his captain both up to six tournament goals apiece.

Argentina needed extra time of their own to beat Switzerland; Alexis Mac Allister’s early header was cancelled out before Julián Álvarez’s long-range stunner and a Lautaro Martínez finish sealed a 3-1 win after Breel Embolo’s late red card.

Messi remains the story, level with Kylian Mbappé at the top of the Golden Boot race on eight goals and set to face England for the first time in his career.

A fitting boost for a first-ever World Cup semi-final meeting between two nations with decades of knockout history between them.

Bellingham’s blistering form to outweigh Messi’s magic in their first-ever meeting

England have shaken off their fitness worries better than most feared. Declan Rice was withdrawn at half-time against Norway, but Thomas Tuchel described the change as tactical as much as protective after Rice battled illness in the build-up, and the midfielder is expected to be fine for Argentina.

Ezri Konsa’s issue was cramp rather than injury, and Reece James, back from a hamstring problem, impressed in 49 minutes off the bench. Jarell Quansah remains the only confirmed absentee, serving the second match of his suspension for the red card against Mexico, while Bellingham, Rice, Nico O’Reilly and Marc Guehi all avoided the booking that would have ruled them out here.

Messi, playing in his fifth World Cup at the age of 39, has scored in nine consecutive tournament matches and shows no sign of slowing down. But Bellingham has been England’s standout performer throughout, sitting just two behind Messi on the goal charts, and his habit of arriving late in the box could again prove decisive against an Argentina side that leans heavily on individual moments rather than sustained control.

England to win
Jude Bellingham to score anytime

A first meeting between these two at this stage of the World Cup, with greater squad depth and Bellingham’s red-hot form giving England the narrowest of edges.
