England World Cup odds are back in play with a July 15 semifinal against Argentina at Atlanta Stadium, kickoff 20:00.
England haven't reached a World Cup final since 1966. That's the number hanging over this game. Argentina present a real obstacle at this stage, and with the match on neutral ground in Atlanta, there's no crowd tipping the balance either way.
Get past Argentina and England are through to July 19 with a shot at ending a 60-year wait. Lose, and it's another semifinal exit. This page updates after each match, so check back for the result and what it means for England's tournament.

England World Cup Update
Updated 9 July 2026
England are into the World Cup quarter-finals after a dramatic 3-2 win over co-hosts Mexico at the iconic Estadio Azteca - and now face Norway in Miami on Saturday for a place in the last four.
It was a night to remember in Mexico City. Jude Bellingham put England in control with two goals in the space of 98 seconds midway through the first half, heading in from Bukayo Saka's cross before turning home a Harry Kane cutback.
Mexico hit straight back through Julián Quiñones, and the game swung again after the break.
Jarell Quansah, filling in at right-back, was shown a straight red card on 54 minutes following a VAR review, leaving England to play more than half an hour with ten men.
Kane held his nerve to slot home a penalty on the hour for 3-2, before Raúl Jiménez pulled one back from the spot to set up a nervy finish.
England, with just 33% possession, dug in through 11 minutes of stoppage time to become the first team ever to beat Mexico in a World Cup at the Azteca.
Kane's penalty was his sixth goal of the tournament and his 14th in World Cup history, moving him level with Gerd Müller in the all-time list, while Bellingham's brace made him the first England midfielder to score four times at a single World Cup.
It was backs-to-the-wall stuff, but Thomas Tuchel's side found a way - and that resilience could prove crucial from here.
Attention now turns to Saturday's quarter-final against Norway, who are into the last eight for the first time after Erling Haaland's brace knocked out Brazil.
England have injury concerns to manage. Quansah is suspended, Jordan Henderson is out for the rest of the tournament with a wrist injury, and there's a growing right-back crisis with Reece James still short of full fitness.
Even so, England are favourites - around 17/20 to beat Norway in 90 minutes - and remain 5/1 fourth favourites to lift the trophy, behind France, Spain and Argentina.
Stopping Haaland will be the priority. Do that, and the Three Lions will fancy their chances of a semi-final spot.

Gamble Responsibly
Betting with World Cup betting sites should be an enjoyable part of following the tournament. With 64 matches across six weeks, there are plenty of opportunities to get involved in the markets, but it's important to approach it in a way that stays fun from the group stage right through to the final. Here's everything you need to know about betting safely.
Set a Budget Before the Tournament Starts
The single most effective thing you can do before placing your first bet is decide how much you're comfortable spending across the whole tournament. With matches coming thick and fast during the group stage, it's easy to find yourself betting more than you intended without a clear limit in place.
Think of your betting budget the same way you'd think about any other entertainment spend — a ticket to a gig, a night out, a sports subscription. Once it's gone, it's gone. Breaking your total budget down by week or by round can help you pace yourself and make sure you've still got something to bet with when the knockout stages arrive.
Never Chase Your Losses
Chasing losses is one of the most common ways recreational betting stops being enjoyable and starts becoming a problem. If your bets aren't landing, the instinct can be to place a bigger bet to win it back quickly. That instinct is worth ignoring. No bet is ever a certainty, and increasing your stakes when you're on a losing run is more likely to make things worse than better.
If things aren't going your way, the best thing to do is step back, stick to your budget, and come back fresh for the next set of fixtures. The World Cup is a long tournament — there's always another game around the corner.
Use the Safer Gambling Tools Available to You
Every UK-licensed bookmaker is required by law to offer free tools to help you manage your betting. These are available in the responsible gambling or safer gambling section of your account and include:
- Deposit limits - cap how much money you can add to your account daily, weekly or monthly
- Loss limits - set a maximum amount you're willing to lose over a given period
- Session time limits - receive reminders or automatic logouts after a set amount of time
- Cooling-off periods - temporarily restrict your account for a set number of days if you need a break
- Self-exclusion - close your account for a longer period if you feel you need more significant time away
These tools are there to be used. Setting deposit or loss limits at the start of the tournament is a straightforward way to make sure your betting stays within the budget you've set for yourself, without having to rely on willpower alone.
Know the Signs That Gambling Might Be a Problem
For most people, betting on football is a harmless bit of fun. But it's worth knowing the signs that gambling might be becoming a problem, for yourself or someone you know. These can include betting more than you can afford to lose, finding it hard to stop once you've started, gambling to escape stress or difficult feelings, hiding your gambling from friends or family, or feeling anxious or irritable when you're not able to bet.
If any of those sound familiar, it's worth reaching out for support sooner rather than later. Problem gambling is more common than many people realise, and help is available.
