Sky speaks to Argentinian and England fans ahead of the much-anticipated World Cup semi-final clash between the two nations. The Falklands War of 1982 has long provided a backdrop to the meeting of the two sides. Then there was Diego Maradona's infamous 'Hand of God' goal in 1986, followed up by one of the greatest goals the World Cup has ever seen. And then there was 1998 - a chance for revenge that ended with a David Beckham red card and humiliating defeat.
