If Tuesday night’s European derby didn’t completely exhaust your nervous system, Wednesday serves up a clash with enough historical narrative and pure, unadulterated hostility to power a small city. Let’s just say these two sides have a little bit of history.

Tonight at 8 pm (Irish time), the tournament moves to the roaring dome of Atlanta as England take on Argentina.

The British media have officially lost all remaining tethers to sanity. After England scraped through a heart-stopping, extra-time quarter-final against Norway, the back pages across the Irish Sea are already acting as if the trophy is being engraved in London. Every English person’s favourite German, Thomas Tuchel, has somehow steered his side into the final four, but they are walking straight into the ultimate footballing boss fight.

Argentina arrived in the semi-finals after surviving an absolute extra-time belter of their own against Switzerland, progressing 3-1. Lionel Messi’s historic, final international tournament is still alive, and the Argentine squad are playing like men possessed to ensure their captain goes out on the ultimate high. Roy Keane has already been spotted on the television panels remaining glacially cool while his hyperventilating pundit colleagues indulge in fist-pumping dad-dances around the studio floor. Spoilsport Keano reminded them that England’s defensive high-line will be absolutely shredded if they afford Messi a single yard of space.

England, though, have arguably the form, game-changing player of the tournament in Jude Bellingham and a striker in Harry Kane who will be looking to notch up a few more World Cup goals against a stubborn Argentine defence. And, of course, hovering over the 90-minute battle will be Maradona’s infamous “Hand of God” goal from their historic 1986 clash.

It is South American emotional intensity versus English expectation in a sweltering Atlanta pressure cooker. Win, and you are ninety minutes from sporting immortality. Lose, and the heartbreak will linger for a generation.

Whatever happens on that pitch, The Heat Map won’t let you down.
