Anger in England over the "Maradona jersey" display
The Argentine Football Association has formally submitted a request to FIFA, seeking permission for the national team to wear its dark blue alternate jersey instead of the sky blue shirt in the upcoming World Cup 2026 semi-final against England. The team believes that the color blue carries a historical symbolism that fosters optimism, noting that Argentina has never lost to England while wearing this jersey before. The request sparked widespread media reactions, with some viewing it as an attempt to rekindle past memories and stir up the atmosphere, while others emphasized that it does not alter the organization aspects or the colors of the opposing team. It is well known that the last match between the two teams in a World Cup was in 2002, when Argentina wore its original kit.
