KANSAS CITY, United States (AFP) — Argentina coach, Lionel Scaloni, says Wednesday’s heavyweight World Cup semi-final against England is “just a football game”, after his side beat Switzerland 3-1 in the last eight.

Alexis Mac Allister put the defending champions ahead early in Kansas City on Saturday but Dan Ndoye scored a deserved equaliser midway through the second half.

Disaster struck minutes later for Switzerland when Breel Embolo was shown a second yellow card for simulation, reducing them to 10 men.
