A penalty, a passage of years, and a route back: England and Argentina meet again

Twenty-eight years after David Batty's missed penalty sent England out of France 98, the two teams are back in the knockout stage. The ghosts are quieter this time. The football is louder.

Desk note: This piece is built from two BBC Sport features published on 15 July 2026, one a retrospective on David Batty's post-1998 career and the other an interview with Alan Shearer in which he acknowledges lingering pain from the same tournament. Wire coverage of the actual fixture on 16 July 2026 was not available at the time of writing, and the article is framed as pre-match analysis rather than report.
