One is the capital of the United Kingdom, the other is the capital of one of the most beautiful countries in South America. Tonight's World Cup match (July 15, 2026) will bring together two football powers whose trips to them are completely different from each other.
Almost every visit to England starts in London and a visit to Argentina in Buenos Aires. Both are great capital cities. But even in England and certainly in Argentina, it is recommended and desirable to go for a walk outside the big city.
