Kyle Walker warns against man-marking Lionel Messi ahead of England-Argentina World Cup semi-final

As England prepares for their FIFA World Cup 2026 semi-final clash against Argentina, retired England defender Kyle Walker has shared his thoughts on how to contain Lionel Messi, suggesting that man-marking is likely not the right strategy. Walker noted, "Messi will probably take it as a personal challenge to actually show people that you can't man-mark him. I'd say don't poke the bear."
