Mikael Silvestre: England SHOULD Beat Argentina | 2026 World Cup Semi-Finals

France vs Spain. England vs Argentina. The 2026 World Cup semi-finals are here - and there's nobody better to break them down than a man who played in TWO World Cups and nearly won one. 🏆 Joe Cole sits down with France international and former Manchester United and Arsenal defender Mikael Silvestre for a full semi-final preview.
