Key moments of friction in England vs. Argentina World Cup history
The World Cup history between England and Argentina is marked by various heated incidents. During the 1966 tournament, Antonio Rattín of Argentina received a contentious red card and had to be led away by police. In 1986, Diego Maradona famously netted the 'Hand of God' goal versus England, and in 1998, David Beckham was dismissed for his reaction to a foul by Diego Simeone. Later, in 2002, Beckham scored a penalty that was subject to debate, helping England claim a 1-0 win.
