In the World Cup semi-final match between England and Argentina, neither team managed a shot on goal in the first 30 minutes, marking the first time this has occurred in a World Cup game since records began in 1966. The previous record for the longest wait for a first shot was set by England in their last match against Norway. The match, reported by Hupu Football News, highlights an unusually defensive or cautious start to the high-stakes encounter.
