The history of the 1986 World Cup may partly repeat itself 40 years later, at least due to certain details.

"Caught Offside" reports that the Argentina national team has expressed a desire to play in the semifinals against England in dark blue jerseys.

Argentina wore blue jerseys in 1986 as well, during their legendary quarterfinal battle against England. In that match, Diego Maradona scored a "brace" and made the "Hand of God."

Since Argentina will be the guests in this semifinal match, it is likely that they will wear blue jerseys, while the English will wear white.
