The Falkland Islands, an archipelago in the South Atlantic Ocean, has been a British Overseas Territory since 1833.
The group of islands is situated 300 miles off the east coast of Argentina, which believes it should have sovereignty.
This came to a head in 1982 when Argentina invaded the Falkland Islands, but lost the war that resulted.
The Falklands War lasted 74 days, and claimed the lives of 907 people: 649 Argentine military personnel, 255 from Britain and three Falkland Islanders.
Remembering the soldiers lost in that defeat 44 years ago, and with the islands still being under British control, is important to Argentines - and enshrined in several other songs.
Before a friendly against Zambia at La Bombonera stadium in Buenos Aires in March, veterans from the Falklands War joined the players on the pitch to sing the national anthem.
One song in particular is regularly sung at football matches - and even rock concerts - in which Argentines bounce up and down, chanting: "And now you see, and now you see, whoever doesn't jump is English!"
There will be increased security measures in place because of the historical tensions.
"It's part of the Argentine culture," Argentine journalist Nicolas Rotnitzsky told BBC Sport.
"It's like 'we are not them - we are us'. So we have to jump to prove that we are not one of them."
Rotnitzsky says that, alongside Brazil, England are considered Argentina's greatest football rivals.
"It's not about hate, not at all," Rotnitzsky said.
"It's important, getting our identity around what happened with the Malvinas. It's about who we are."
Argentina midfielder Rodrigo de Paul said the chants are "very much about our heroes" and not about politics.
"We have to understand that this is a football match and that the Malvinas issue needs to be discussed elsewhere," De Paul said.
England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford said it's "just a game of football" and predicted "football will do its talking".
Argentina's April 2 War Veterans Federation has insisted the game is "not an armed rematch nor historical compensation".
But it is an inevitable clash between politics and sport.
Argentina's foreign minister, Pablo Quirno, said this week that the population of the Falklands Islands was "artificially implanted by the occupying power".
The UK government hit back, insisting Falkland Islanders are "British with a right to determine their own future".
Even Fifa cannot ignore the politics.
Premier League referee Anthony Taylor was a contender to officiate the 2022 World Cup final but was ruled out when Argentina reached it.
