Ahead of a significant World Cup semi-final, Uber Eats UK has enacted a temporary nationwide ban on Argentine food.

The delivery app announced this "difficult decision" on Instagram, stating that normal service will resume only after the final whistle.

The matchup holds historical significance, being the first time these two football powerhouses have competed against each other in 21 years. It also marks a career milestone for Lionel Messi, 39, as he will face England for the first time.
