England only have themselves to blame for this one.

They were 18 minutes away from a World Cup final, leading 1-0, and instead of looking for the second goal, they retreated into their shell. Argentina punished them with two late goals to win 2-1 and book their place in the final.

As a football fan, this is my verdict:

* Playing not to lose instead of playing to win. England handed Argentina the initiative. The deeper they sat, the more confidence Messi and his teammates gained.
* You cannot defend for 18 minutes against Argentina. This isn't an average team. Give them sustained possession and eventually they'll find spaces. They did exactly that, with Enzo Fernández equalizing before Lautaro Martínez completed the comeback in stoppage time.
* No pressure on the ball. England stopped pressing high and allowed Argentina to dictate the tempo. Every clearance simply invited another attack.
* Poor game management. There is a difference between controlling a game and parking the bus. England chose fear over control.
* Mentality cost them. Champions don't just defend a one-goal lead—they keep asking questions of the opposition. Argentina believed they could still win because England looked more interested in surviving than competing.

If you're one goal up with 18 minutes left, you don't hand the keys to Lionel Messi. That's footballing suicide.

England had one hand on the trophy, or at least one foot in the final, but they voluntarily surrendered control. Instead of making Argentina worry, they made themselves worry. Every minute they dropped deeper, the equalizer felt more inevitable.

This defeat wasn't because Argentina were vastly superior. It was because England abandoned the approach that got them the lead. Fear replaced ambition, and at this level, fear is usually punished.

As Sir Alex Ferguson famously said, "Attack wins you games, but courage wins you trophies" England forgot that when it mattered most.

If you'd like, I can also break down Thomas Tuchel's tactical mistakes minute by minute and explain exactly where the game slipped away after England went 1-0 up.

franchasng:
Lionel Messi is not just a footballer, he is spiritually backed, so his performance and success is beyond skill and talent, there is spiritual backing to his success which makes him the Greatest Footballer of All Time

Mindblowing:
[s]Do you know that Spain have only conceded just one goal so far[/s], they are very difficult to scare against, so better think we'll when you say Messi will score two goals, definitely not against Spain because they play a team football unlike others who are focus on the individual player or skills.

dominique:
You think he can score more than 2 goals against a Spain that has conceded only one goal throughout the tournament?

cr7lomo:
Metrics against afcon teams ....others were playing top 15 teams ...Argentina de play below 40th ranked teams ... e reach Switzerland and England...goals dry up...

tonididdy:
Make e use am build hase for moon
If e like make e break all the broken plates, there will always be Messi and ronaldo, they are inseparable.

You can never mention Messi without Ronaldo and vice versa, it's like tea and choco!

The preference will always be a choice between a magician and a go-getter and the world decided their fave long ago.
The favorite will always be the contest not who's best!

Love800:
Messi the programmed footballer who plays like a robot on remote control, with boring straight through runs.

A player who could not leave his comfort zone for decades upon decades.

I wonder how he turns out to be some people's goat!

And forget about world-cup. Normally international football is by luck. He is just lucky.

Imindmybusiness:
I like men that remove emotions from reasoning. You my friend are a great man.

UrVillageChief:
Hello! Didn’t Forlan win it in 2010 with Uruguay? Did Messi not win it in 2014 despite not winning the trophy and Modric in 2018? All won the golden ball for “individual’s” brilliant performances🤣
Show me a more extraordinary player in this tournament so far.
Una go just Dey talk for talking sake.

cr7lomo:

OriOko88:
Messi is not winning that cup tomorrow. There's no way he's gonna win the world cup back to bck

cr7lomo:

This one still dey for the era of using small g for god

In fact I AM GOD, greater than Jehovah and Allah combined. With Otem by my side, I will conquer your gods

You don't know what GOD is all about oga. If you know you won't be saying this.

Go and read the BOOK OF UNIVERSAL HISTORY for details.

Counselor123:
I so much like this world cup. It seems like there's going to be something for everyone 🤔. Here is my proposal for tomorrow:
- Winner : Spain
- Second Place: Argentina
- Third Place Winner: England
- Highest Goal Scorer: Mbappe (France)
- MVP: Messi (Argentina)

tonididdy:
This should have being the final


A tickets worth but let's see what tomorrow holds but I'm not expecting much

Omoawoke:
Mbappe now has the highest goals ever in World Cup history

Thank you Mbappe for sending Messi’s record parking

cryptocherith:
These hate sha!!! and yet God will keep proving you wrong.
This hates and lies are the more reason they keep defying all odds and progressing.
Tomorrow, even Spain will be utterly disgraced.

prinsam30:
Now pessi don turn playmaker abi ok ooo, even pessi himself no say him no get hope tomorrow

engrjacuzzi:
With this result France 🇫🇷 is displaying, against England 🇬🇧 there's no way Mbappe or Dembele will win world best this year.

You are speaking to the son of a lawyer here. There is a reason lawyers always tell their clients never to speak without them being there like the case of adeyemi who refused to even to respond to what his name is. The moment that guy admitted and started pleading he gave a confession right there. The chat posted online can not paint the full picture. The court can argue the girl responded that way due to emotional instability. Even the chat has to be proven to be legit in the eyes of the court. The only way the case dies now is if the family accepts a settlement and agree to accept the story that it was sex service deal gone wrong. The guy definitely forced himself on the girl and the girl wanted compensation for it. She went there for sex and must have gotten cold feet and didn't want to proceed until a fair agreement was reached. The guy overpowered her and forced himself on her. She then demanded that she be compensated fairly and the matter will die, the guy refused her demands. The girl killed herself and the guy knows he bleeped up. The fact he deleted all the messages from his end is another rope around his neck. His only saving grace are two things, he has enough money to influence the judge in his case to pick out minor things and make them look like important information, the second is settlement which I am sure will happen. The parents from the video, their body language look like people who will rather settle than go to court.

agentarcher:
Those who don't know the guy has admitted to the crime and was begging the girl's parent and her twin sister for forgiveness. The girl is a twin. It was a fellow content creator who lead the arrest against him and he was pleading they settle the matter. That there is confession. The only thing now is if the family will take the settlement and forget the matter or take the matter to court. He has to prove it was an agreement to have sex and he simply didn't pay well and she killed herself, but information is that he deleted the chat from his end.

Omoawoke:
The worst set of humans , in the same category with arm robbers are those ones who take advantage of a girl’s desperate moment to push her to sex for money…

For example, a girl who is almost homeless or whose sibling is sick at hospital and needs emergency fund to rescue the situation and a man knows this and tell her he would give her the money on condition of sex… such man is evil and a demon

sisisioge:
How long did the moment last for this SoB to have created this everlasting destruction! Why!

Unfortunately for him, he won't even get sympathy from his fellow comrades because the virginity part pains them more than the ra.pe and life lost! If it were to be a non virginity girl, they would have supported the anofia! Now we are all on the same page calling this evil art EVIL!

Rest in peace to the girl. I hope others will learn to protect themselves from the vultures disguising as humans! Dont be stup.id in this life fa! It is well.

Robertgreene1:
The girl even regretted not giving it to the other Abuja man for 50k So girls now sell their virginity toto to the highest bidders Na so una dey do for here

Omoawoke:
All shades of wrong


You all gone cracked in this country

Chai!!

Damn it motherrrfkerr

I’m so pissed off

How do I unsee this misery… sore to the eyes and irritating my thought process



Forcefully sir!

She said forcefully !!!

That’s rapppee

And I’d say again, taking advantage of a girls vulnerability even if force is not used, it’s still rape!

For instance , a girl is desperately in need of funds to sort out emergency situations like rent, medical bills, food, school fees and a man told her he would give her the money on condition of sex.. and the girl did it out of pressure, that’s still rape even if they both go to hotel to do it..

I think the law should be able to protect people who are exploited for sex even though no physical force was used

Omoawoke:
The only GOAT I know

The force against all odds


He is a prove that you can be anything as long as you work hard and work on your mind

He’s not a fifa princess, not loved by legends, not loved be fifa … but loved by the world
