Reason behind Argentina's request for blue jersey in World Cup semi-final vs England
Reports indicate that Argentina has asked for approval to sport their navy-blue alternate kit for the FIFA World Cup semi-final match against England. This decision is said to be tied to their historical triumphs over England when wearing blue. Argentina wore blue during their World Cup wins in 1986 and 1998. England is the official home side and will be in white, while Argentina is set to pair the blue shirt with black shorts and socks.
