Argentina head coach Felipe Contepomi accused England of showing a “lack of respect” after storming out of his press conference following the Pumas’ 31-24 defeat in Santiago del Estero.
Contepomi took exception to the music and cheering that could be heard coming from England’s changing room next door as their players celebrated a triumphant conclusion to their July tour.

Liverpool still face major contract dilemma after Dominik Szoboszlai agreement
Liverpool Contract Situation: Szoboszlai Extension Buys Time, Not Certainty
Liverpool have handled one job. They have not handled the full problem.
Dominik Szoboszlai signing a new contract until 2031 matters. It removes one obvious concern and stops the clock from ticking towards an awkward 2028 situation. At a club where contract management has become a recurring issue, that is useful business. Necessary business, in fact.
But there is no point dressing this up as more than it is.
Slovenian referee Slavko Vincic will officiate the World Cup final between Spain and Argentina on Sunday.
Vincic will be joined by compatriot assistants Tomaz Klancnik and Andraz Kovacic, making history as the first ever referee from Slovenia to take charge of the landmark fixture.
“So, first of all, a shock. Then happiness. I was shaking, so it’s an incredible honour to get the World Cup final,” said Vincic, who was in tears upon hearing the news. “It’s something that… it’s only a dream for a referee, for a young referee when they start.
It’s in elevated moments like this, when all the usual talk in football takes a more metaphysical hue, that even the most single-minded players can’t help looking for signs and omens.
In Spanish training, where Lamine Yamal is “wrapped in cotton” due to recent injuries, they have still been noting every turn and finish in training. “That’s how you’re going to win the World Cup final.”
It’s quite a prospect to consider.

With the expansion of the 2026 World Cup, there are more teams than ever, more games than ever — and more goals. Across the tournament, 307 total goals have been scored by the 48 teams in the field, led by England (20), France (20) and Argentina (19).
Almost everyone had a chance to celebrate a goal during the tournament; only one team, Panama, failed to score. Some of those goals have been particularly superb, rising above the pack in a tournament that has displayed plenty of skill.
