No pressure anywhere.

The pressure was even on Argentina and yet they did it. England just dey mumu around for field defending ordinary 1 goal

When they started this defense thing, I knew they were not going to make it.

Tuchel , you don fvk up today.
What on earth makes you to play defensive?
Don't you always hear that the best form of defense is attack?
See as you remove all the attackers and bring in useless defenders.
Against a team like Argentina that you are playing defensive from 70 minutes?
Tuchel,are you ok upstairs?
Even African team don't exhibit this type of inferiority complex.
Cape Verde played Argentina more than this.
I am really pained this night

ElevationD:
Spain wey no fit beat Cape Verde Abi which one?
Anything carry Messi enter final, na there una go see another monster.

My brother. They gon' learn.

helinues:
Tuchel should honorary resign.

I have never seen such horrible selection before. Why should you be defending when the game is still 20 mins plus

Playing Reece as a winger when it's not EPL

He eventually brought in Burn to strike,. Between Burn and Rashford, who should have been introduced early

Tuchel has never been a good coach... No wonder he couldn't last at Stamford Bridge.

He just hides behind top players.

As soon as England hired him, I laughed... I told an English friend of mine that they were certainly never winning this world cup with that man's tactics.

With this win tonight, the World player of the year will definitely be given to Messi. He now has more assist than Mbappe.

7upnigeria:
Ororo go just dey front dey wait for Tap in.

that's the difference between pretenders and contenders.

Penaldo fans now.

I know say devil must blow one person breez for ear to do silly mistakes... I don't know it would be the England Coach.

England coach messed up . You have Saka , Eze and Rash ford on the bench ,you cannot make changes that will force Argentina to defend . Nawa coach you mess up . Waited for Argentina to score before you bring in Rashford

Tuchel messed up o

This england coach mumu na top notch, how you go score, come dey defend, and you watched Argentina games against Egypt and Switzerland

Goo0dHardDick:
So Spain will be looking at Argentina bah? Spain wey beat France 2 - 0 ?

Spain that would have been dealing with england 3-0 by now

Una still dey talk ba? None of you believed Argentina will win this game, I'm thinking how many of English football and Ronaldo fans who'd be in deep pain and heart ache at the moment, the pain is too much, I see people comparing Ronaldo to Messi as pple with low IQ.

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

This Argentina team should be tested for steriod. It when opponents are exuasted they start playing..
I remember Moradona that year.

0Brien:
Spain and Argentina both play mathematical football with clinical finishing.

I'm really looking forward to this final. We're going to see football at it's best.

Exactly my point.

Spain plays accurate football with excellent passes. They don't play rubbish. they are very fast, highly Calculative and knows exactly what to do with ball at any given time

Wotowotoman:
Make I support Spain for Sunday jare. At least two black guys dey there

U go lose again!

Seriously, defending game is no longer working in football again! Unlike before it works but since from Arsenal vs PSG many coaches studied that game and it is fairly working in world cup. No single game in this world works with packing the bus all teams that played such are now out of the competition.

MyAmericandream:
This Martinez guy is fucking dangerous. He always score when the match is about to end.

Hahaha, u sef don observe am

Honestly I'm pained....
How can u play defensive against Lionel Messi and co?

That Messi guy needs to examined under a microscope, he's not human.

The very first time I ever supported England in my life, they lost

seunny4lif:
How can you be defending 1 goal against Argentina while you have attackers in the bench

In the bench ke, take am easy O. Na just football O.

bentenny:
Tuchel just handed the finals to Argentina on a platter with that display.
How can you pack the bus and defend against Argentina?

Excuse
Why did we choose Tinubu go be the next question coming back home

It's like I said football does not respect ya feelings.

If football respected my feelings, Morroco would have been in the final of the last world cup, Nigeria would have reached three quarter finals and one semi final since 1994, and we would have qualifed and reached the quarters this year, with Osimhen scoring 9 goals by then ( ), Cameroon would have beaten england 2-1 at Italia 90, Ghana would have gone through to the semis of the world cup in 2010, and so on and so forth. (Ajax would have won champions league no 2 in 1996 self).

Argentina was better tonight. It's painful, but it is what it is. The better team won tonight. We all can cry they protected Messi, but the better team won tonight. Argentina really takes football as serious as India takes cricket, and it shows.

Parachoko:
Very big mumu

I was expecting him to bring on an Attacker, why are they sitting in so deep with 5 defenders

He has Eze ,Saka and Mainoo on bench yet the man pack 5 defenders

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.

U cant defend against argentina with a creative messi u stop them by out playing them and keeping ur pace and bringing the heat. That frustrates them.

Why the Argentines were studying Engliand game plans, Tuchel was busy encouraging his players to carry women and have sex to keep fit. The Coach must have been bribed, he killed the dreams of Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham

Kalulu44:

Rayjay45:
Omo, Tuchel go hear am for British media tonight.

Who send am this job sef?

England are and will forever remain a mediocre team forming world class.

Only a world class team can make it to the semifinals of a world cup tournament.
