England have become the nearly men of world football. In the last five major tournaments they’ve lost two finals, two semi-finals and a quarter-final.
That's bullshit. Argentina are not that good. It was a 50 50 game. We went ahead. It's not like we are a 3rd div side who nicked one against a premiership team. One up and down to 10 against Mexico? Park the bus makes sense. But today, chances of them scoring if we park the bus? Maybe 50 50. But without parking the bus, it was 50 50 for either team to score next. And if was us, great! But if we park the bus and they score one, suddenly we have an unbalenced side. Tuchel is a coward and 100% owns this one.
I thought Mac Allister was outstanding. I hadn’t been impressed with what I’ve seen from him so far in the tournament. But today he was at his very best. I hope we can get that Mac Allister back next season. Or if we are going to sell, the price should reflect that he is a two time World Cup finalist.
When Tuchel asked Kane to play up front last night, I doubt Kane understood that “up front” was his own penalty spot.
I was so fkn pissed after that shameful crap yesterday. They start well with a high press game not letting the shit house tackling get to them, then begin to give it back. Then they score from a nice cross. Game over job done, let’s all go back and sit in the penalty area and let the Argies break on our wonderful defense tactics. I read Rod Lavers book many years ago. Yeah an Ausie tennis player. I still remember his quote about playing. “Always! Change a losing game. Never! Change a winning one.” I want to tattoo that on Tuchel’s forehead so he can see it every time he sees his reflection. Such a coward!!!!!!
@speker I really liked those videos you posted. Two useful, exciting kids there. It’ll be interesting to see how they develop.
Tuchel Let them play by giving them 3/4 of the pitch to gather every out ball and reset for their next attack. After the second goal and England came out to play, mainly with Pickford hail Mary booting it upfield. I thought that this will be 3-1 Shameful and especially against Argentina
The Argentines broke out the old Islas Malvinas flags for their after match celebrations, of course. They do make themselves so easy to dislike...
Started in earnest after WWII when Peron welcomed a large number of German Nazis and other European fascists into the country to escape prosecution for war crimes.
Yep -- THAT's the German you should have contracted with. Let's get on with life, and DROP the anti-Argentine dribble. If they inscribe one of your lame criticisms on the damn TROPHY (whether ARG win OR lose), will THAT make you feel better? Good luck on Saturday; no one enjoying life will be watching...
I just saw the clip of Messi stepping on Spence moments before the 2nd goal. Egypt must be wondering why that was not overturned.
Despite adding defensive minded players, Messi somehow found he was being given MORE space after his side conceded.
Better than quarterfinal losses or simply not qualifying the tournaments as was the MO before Southgate.
