00:00And you can feel the buzz in the air as the fans pile into the stadium with kick-off approaching.
00:09It's on the way for you, live on EATV.
00:16Hello and thanks for joining us on a pretty dull evening, but hopefully the game will be quite the opposite.
00:22I'm Guy Mowbray with the former Arsenal and West Ham midfielder Stuart Robson alongside me.
00:27And hopefully we've got some goals and drama on the way.
00:30It's Argentina facing England.
00:32Well, both teams know they need to start the game well here, try to dominate the midfield area and get
00:37their creative players on the ball.
00:39This should be an interesting game, I think.
01:04And this is where we play 10 games all around the world.
01:06I hear that it is going to start the game well.
01:08I think it is going to win, but it's not a bad time...
01:15YouAwkward1 is not hitting.
01:22Sometimes in London you fall straight in and you go out and take the hands and you drive the faces
01:25against them.
01:30This is the Argentina team.
01:33Emiliano Martinez is the goalkeeper.
01:36Lissandro Martinez starts alongside Cristian Romero in central defence.
01:41And up front, Lautaro Martinez plays alongside Lionel Messi.
02:17This is the England team.
02:20Jordan Pickford is the goalkeeper.
02:22Declan Rice plays with Jude Bellingham in central midfield.
02:26And the main striker is Harry Kane.
02:44Welcome to Theft Gamers.
02:47And the first half is underway.
02:56The referee's got a big decision to make after that.
03:05Well, the first booking is shoot.
03:06And he's going to be walking a tightrope for the rest of the match now.
03:17Well, I think it's fair to say he doesn't agree with that decision.
03:38Jude Bellingham.
03:42Gordon.
03:43Oh, excellent vision.
03:45Oh, look at this.
03:47And we haven't had to wait long for the opening goal.
03:50It's 1-0.
04:03Well, here it is again.
04:04And it's all about the pace and transition.
04:06They're so quick to get out from the back.
04:08And then the strike from Saka.
04:10He never really looked like this, he did it.
04:12Brilliant finish.
04:37And the game restarts with the score 1-0.
04:43Christian Romero.
04:45Fernandes.
04:46And they must keep the ball a little bit better.
04:49Well, they just can't get their passing going here.
04:54Getting closer.
05:01No time to dwell on it.
05:06Saka.
05:09Harry Kane.
05:11Declan Rice.
05:13A really good interception to take the ball.
05:20Rodrigo de Port.
05:23Lovely set-up.
05:34Kane.
05:35The chance now for a quick transition.
05:39Really nicely played.
05:40What can they do with this now?
05:42Well, they need to get back here.
05:44That ultimately has come to nothing.
05:49That has gone out.
05:50It'll be a throw.
05:58Gordon.
06:02It's a pretty good save by the keeper.
06:11It's a pretty good save by the keeper.
06:18What?
06:24Now, Alistair.
06:30Moving the ball well in search of the equaliser.
06:34History level
06:35And it's there
06:36A goal that draws them back on level terms
06:48Well let's take another look at this
06:50Martinez drips past his marker with such skill
06:53And the finish is excellent
06:54He really does caress that into the back of the net
06:57It's a great goal
07:10And away we go again at 1-1
07:15Bellingham
07:17Ball with James now
07:22Jude Bellingham
07:26Saka
07:30And the attack is over
07:36Lionel Messi
07:42Oh brilliantly won
07:43Hard but on the right side of fair
07:49Now the play goes for a throw in
08:00And the work pays off as they get the ball back
08:06Making decent progress here
08:11Thiago Almada
08:14And it's opened up
08:15And it's in
08:17To put them in front
08:31Well here we can see it again
08:32And he does so well to skip beyond the defender
08:34It just buys him that bit of time to get his shot away
08:37That's a really nice goal
08:54And away we go again
08:55At 2-1
08:59Kane
09:08Chance now for a quick transition
09:11That fight has ended up a lot better than it has
09:22Just needs the composure now
09:24Oh a superb stop
09:26Well for me
09:27He always looked likely to win that battle
09:29He's just so confident in those situations
09:42All the kick played in
09:50Oh a last ditch tackle
09:52And put it away
09:52And over the byline
09:54Goal kick to come
10:02Romero
10:04On to DePaul
10:06And that's going to be it
10:07For the first 45 minutes
10:13We can only say good things
10:14About the performance of Lautaro Martinez
10:17So far
10:17He really has shown his talents
10:19Well what a first half he had
10:21I thought he was outstanding
10:22He caused the defenders
10:24All sorts of problems
10:25With his movement and pace
10:26And he fully deserved his two goals
10:28And I expect more from him
10:29In the second half
10:33There's the restart
10:34Off we go again
10:44Lionel Messi
10:47He's in here
10:49And they've scored again
10:50That puts them further in front
10:52What a position to be in
10:59Well first of all
11:00Where's the defending
11:01They're all over the place
11:02But give him some credit
11:04That's a good finish
11:05Great composure
11:17Three goals to one then
11:18As we get started again
11:22Anthony Gordon
11:25Mark Gay
11:30Ball with James now
11:33Promising looking ball
11:39A different angle for him now
11:42Well maybe only a half chance
11:44It's missed by quite a distance
11:46Yeah but he was under a lot of pressure there
11:48He certainly won the header
11:49Well we know what Lautaro Martinez
11:51Is capable of
11:52But it's still difficult
11:53Trying to contain him
11:54As the opposition have discovered
11:56Well what a threat he's been
11:57Not just with his goals
11:59But he's all round displayed
12:00Brilliant stuff
12:09Oh that's been won
12:10Really smartly
12:11Oh that's been won really smartly
12:24Lionel Messi
12:25Some good work to win it there
12:30And into the last
12:3230 minutes now
12:36Declan Rice
12:40Turn around in possession
12:42Excellent positioning
12:47And the attack collapses
12:48Well that was a really excellent piece of defending there
12:52Could be a chance to break here
12:56And it could be on
12:57Oh a brilliant save
12:59Just hardly kept out
13:02England will make a change now
13:16And the ball comes in
13:18The goalkeeper has taken that easily
13:20It's a disappointing corner
13:26A terrific tackle
13:28Took the ball clean
13:31Possession given away
13:36Rice
13:44Almada
13:49Oh maybe a bit of space now
13:53Hey
13:53Well you have to stand and applaud
13:56When you see a finish like that
13:58It is a tremendous piece of skill
14:07Well let's take another look at this
14:09Rashford just goes past his man so easily
14:12And just look at the finish
14:13That's a brilliant piece of skill
14:15And vision to chip the goalkeeper from there
14:17What a great goal
14:21Almada
14:24The ball taken away from them
14:39Leandro Paredes
14:41On to Messi
14:45He takes aim
14:47Magnificent save
14:49Top draw goalkeeping
14:51Argentina are making a change here
15:05It's been delivered
15:07And a nervy clearance
15:09Still pressure
15:09The effort shut out
15:11Well that was brilliant defending
15:16Sadio
15:18Pass
15:19Waited just right
15:23It's played into the box
15:27And with that deflection
15:29It'll be a throw in
15:31He's certainly made his mark
15:33On the game
15:33And now time for someone else
15:35To have a go
15:37Well it only takes a second
15:38To score a goal
15:39And there are still
15:40Five minutes to go
15:48Now Taro Martinez
15:50On to De Paul
15:54Oh and he's won the ball
15:55What happens now
15:58Messi
16:01And this could be the moment
16:03For a counter
16:09Played in with that
16:11A promising move
16:13Stalls
16:16And that's the final whistle
16:18A positive result
16:19At least as far as the home fans
16:21Are concerned
16:21What did you make of their performance
16:23They didn't dominate the game
16:25By any means today
16:26But overall
16:27They had the better of the chances
16:28And just about
16:29Deserved their win
16:35Well most would agree
16:37That we've just witnessed
16:37Something really special
16:39From Lautaro Martinez
16:40That was a virtuoso display
16:42Well he gave that back line
16:44A torrid time didn't he
16:45He was far too sharp
16:46But always looking to play
16:48On the shoulder
16:48Took his goals well too
16:50Clearly the difference maker today
17:08Bye
