England vs Argentina World Cup Player Prop Predictions
England and Argentina resume their long-standing rivalry in the World Cup semi-finals on Wednesday in Atlanta and we've picked out four player prop bets to back for the big game.
It's fair to say that both teams haven't been entirely convincing in advancing to the semi-finals, but nevertheless, this promises to be a cracking contest, with Lionel Messi facing England for the very first time in his career.
Messi features in one of our player prop bets, while Jude Bellingham has been England's standout over the last two games, seemingly swapping roles with Harry Kane.
There's no doubt the pair are paramount to England's success and also feature in our best bets, while there's value in Argentina's central defender Cristian Romero seeing the red mist in what could easily turn into a fiery showdown between two nations that simply don't like each other.
Read on below for our best player prop bets and reasoning.

The GOAT just keeps on GOATING at 39 years of age. Messi has basically single-handedly led Argentina back into the World Cup semi-finals, scoring eight goals and providing two assists in his six appearances at this World Cup.
Messi leads the shooting leaderboard with a massive 33 - he's had 4+ in all five of the games he's started at this tournament, along with 18 in three knockout appearances.
The Argentina game plan is get the ball to Messi and let the little master work his magic. He'll get his chances again here.
Jude Bellingham 2+ Shots On Target

Bellingham has carried England on his back in the R16 and quarter-finals, scoring a brace in both wins over Mexico and Norway.
He's established himself as a world class player and one of the leading midfielders in the game - you better believe he'll be out to continue his red-hot form here.
Bellingham has registered 2+ shots on target in his last four appearances at this World Cup, including three each in knockout games against Congo and Mexico.
Harry Kane 3+ Shots

Kane has been overshadowed by Bellingham lately and he can go missing in big games, but I still like the striker to get at least three shots away here.
Kane has racked up 3+ shots in five of his six games at the World Cup, with his only miss coming against Mexico, when England were reduced to 10 men and forced to defend for almost the entire second half.
The Bayern striker wants to prove he can make an impact in a truly big game and while it remains to be seen if he can, I do think he will be attempting shots at any opportunity.
Cristian Romero to be shown a Red Card

Going for a long-shot chance here, but hear me out.
Romero has a reputation for being a bit of a hot-head and England know how to rile him up having faced him repeatedly in the Premier League.
The Tottenham centre back copped two red cards in his final 10 games of the season. His physical style and aggressiveness means he's always treading a fine line.
This game has the potential to descend into chaos and Romero's history of poor discipline and overall fiery nature means he could be prone for a brain explosion.
