Re: World Cup 2026

The game ended when they got the first goal. Why go to defense against a team like that I don't know. They had it and they blew it.

Re: World Cup 2026

Thierry Henry just said the same on Fox. England went defensive too early. The best team won.

Cheer up, it's what we expect.

A flat back 6 was asking for trouble with half an hour to go.

Re: World Cup 2026

Trying to park the bus against Argentina with that much time remaining was silly , Tuchel then making defensive subs compounded the problem further.

As Paul said, they blew it

Will there be a fair few managers in the Premier League (and lower) that agree that's what the problem was . . . while also not recognising that their tactics are often quite similar?

Agree to a degree.

Tuchel was brought in to take the team to the next level , yesterday’s tactics however were exactly the same as Southgate would have used.

But it’s all very easy for us armchair pundits

Premier League is kind of different. Teams are more organised and can execute a low block far better than England did last night.

We were soaking up pressure but at no point did we look defensively secure. Nightmare all around.

I loved the UK Government's slapback "The World Cup might not be ours, but the Falkland Islands definitely are.”

Re: World Cup 2026

Well I know many think tonights match v France is a somewhat pointless match, but we actually look good in the first half, 3 - 0 up, should be more.
