The plus side of the late comebacks is we only have to stomach a few minutes of what would otherwise be legendary shithousery from Argentina

Now Argentina is doing it

Why oh why do you purposefully allow the entire game to be played on your side?

Welp, I think it was a given that VARgentina was going to pull it out. Very predictable as usual.

It’s a weird flex to admit you don’t appreciate the greatest player to ever play the game.

Why go so conservative, so early… only up 1-0 against one of the best teams in the world? That was like the soccer version of prevent defense in the third quarter in a close game. Dumb!

England and this coach gonna get torched by the British press.

It isn't even that. England is too good technically to resort to this. I am baffled.

shite on Argentina all you want but they at least play

What game are you watching? Argentina doesn't have all 11 back in their third and it's why England is just having to launch balls and hope

Correct.

It's what you do if you are Cape Verde and have a 1-0 lead.

This England team can run and gun with the best of them.

You mean how most people here say this about Brady and Mahomes?

I don't disagree because I do appreciate players and teams who are the highest level but it's a known thing for many people to hate the best. I don't get it myself but there it is.

Risk. You reduce risk of getting caught off guard in a counter-attack if you eliminate any chance of that by holding your team back.

That's the idea at least. It doesn't work well if you aren't possessing the ball at all.

I dont get soccer..argentina was dominating and as soon as they go up by 1 they get on defense.

Just keep dominating on offense then no chance england scores

Like someone else mentioned, parking the bus and making defensive subs that early against a team like Argentina who 1) has the best player in the world and 2) has looked incredible late in matches is...


dumb as hell. I hope Tuchel throws himself under the bus bc he deserves it
