TheSuperNerd:very easy to criticize the man. There was nothing special tuchel would have done. Immediately England scored , you could see the hunger from the Argentine players. |

elyte89:you forgot that Argentina nearly equalised through simeone immediately after Gordon's goal if not for spence's interception. Argentina was the better team. Finito. |

Hunger my foot. Tuchel's 1st 3 changes were all defenders. He brought the pressure on himself. Were France not hungry too against Spain? Did Spain suddenly sit back and invite pressure? Spain kept at it and scored a second goal. Now after this second goal, what was Spain's first sub? An attacker in Ferran Torres. Do you wanna know their next 2 changes? 2 midfielders. So please dont tell me about hunger or how easy it is to criticize Tuchel. He was tactically stupid. That is the truth. Chuks4041: |

Nearly equalised is never same as equalised. Your goal is to establish that England could never have won that game and that is a lie dead on arrival. Rest. Chuks4041: |

This was following a scenario that saw Enzo Fernandez elbow Elliot Anderson to the back of the head in midfield. Funny how VAR missed that. mostob: |

What is it with Tottenham and WC Winners? 2018 - Lloris 2022 - Romero 2026 - They have Porro, Romero and Senesi in the final. Guaranteed to have a WC Winner for the 3rd WC tournament in a row. Well, their north london rivals, Arsenal also have Zubimendi and Merino in the final but only on one side.

Amedino99:Bro, he's not the first I've heard that from. A lot of my colleagues who are die hard Ronaldo fans make that silly argument all the time, so you should understand my reason for not giving him the benefit of doubt. Besides, this is the internet. If one wants to portray sarcasm perfectly, it would be wise to make use of quotation marks or even laughing emojis at the end of their statements so that people will know and won't take them seriously. 🤷🏽♂️ |

It's not hard to figure out why teams keep losing to Argentina in such dramatic fashion. Argentina haven't had any outright dominant wins in this tournament since the group stages. And the funniest thing is that this is entirely by design. It's not by accident. Argentina's entire system right now is built to protect one asset: Lionel Messi. Scaloni isn't asking him to be an all-action presser anymore. He can't sustain that over 90 minutes at this stage of his career. So the team absorbs, stays organized without the ball, and lets the game come to them. Go back and watch every game they've played since the knockouts. They're patient by design, almost passive in the first hour, banking energy and reading the opposition's shape. Then, around the 65-70 minute mark, when legs get heavy and discipline slips, Argentina strike. Messi doesn't need to run the channel forty times a game. He just needs the right pocket of space twice, and he'll find it. It's a smart plan, and it's worked because most teams don't clock it until they're already unraveling. Cape Verde almost broke that model, partly because Argentina might have slightly underrated them. But Argentina were still able to recover on the grounds of their individual quality. But you know one team that's most likely to break that model? Spain. And so it's only fitting that it is Spain that Argentina runs into in the final. Spain don't get tired in the way Argentina are banking on. Their whole identity is 100 minutes of press, rondo, suffocating possession, never letting the game breathe. SmithLayi of Gaant Football put it best: they suck life out of teams. Waiting for them to fade is a gamble Argentina can't afford. This time they'll need to front-load their intensity, not just cash in late. Not to mention De La Fuentes is proving be a tactical genius so far in this tournament. Unless Spain come into this final completely unprepared and distracted, or bogged down by any external net factors like injury or whatever, I simply don't see how Argentina can muscle a win over them. This final is Spain's to lose. |

Which coach will leave his best players on the bench? Saka, Eze, Manoo, and Rashford on the bench, for what? Is this match fixing? Because I couldn't understand why he kept this best players on the bench. The guy even removed Stone and Reece. ![]() This seems a deliberate attempt to weaken the team to give Argentina the upper hand else tell me why you would leave these players on the bench in the first place. This is Sabotage. |

Papi85:To put Nwabali situation into easy understanding, Nwabali allowed the little success he had achieved with the SE got into him and started rating himself too high. Such thought made him feel if he leaves Chippa, even Man U would come for him. But he was shocked when no team bigger than Chippa all over the world came for him after leaving Chippa without an alternative already on ground. He had to return to his vomit/video/1?s=46 |

When Egypt was leading Argentina, the Egyptians kept attacking to score more goals but paid dearly for it, people blamed Egypt for not defending the goals. Fast forward to yesterday, England did the opposite and still paid dearly for it, now people are saying "why not keep attacking"? There's nothing someone on the losing side would have done that people won't find faults in. It's just how the world is designed. Even in our daily lives, people perceived not to have made it are automatically blamed for being a failure irrespective of what they might have done. |

Procashtips:England has more football pedigree than Egypt and with the array of talents and stars they have more was expected from them compared to Egypt. England was also chasing history to be in the finals after 60 years and for a country who boasts of having the most exciting football league in the world what happened yesterday was not normal so Egypt can’t come into this conversation at all! |
