In Euro 2028, england will have you on their coaching team since you know so much more than Tuchel and FA that appointed him ......

atleast you will prove to us your football knowledge in real life and not behind a keypad.

Abeggi, die this trash. England simply called for the pressure by parking the bus just the same thing Arsenal did in the UCL.
Here’s the rule, in modern football, parking the bus against big teams is you calling for pressure and eventual defeat. The last time it worked was almost 2 decades ago with Mourinho.
I’m not sure you watched the game. Tuchel immediately started defending and even subbed off his attackers to bring in defenders at as early as the 56th minute immediately after the goal. You don’t invite pressure then start complaining and blaming it on your opponents. Both teams were playing rubbish and somewhat balanced game until England scored that goal and started acting like the underdogs.
This Argentina can’t survive playing against attacking teams and luckily for them, they passed the easiest route where the teams they met all played defensively. It was only Egypt that still tried to attack. Egypt started making the mistake in the later stages of the game and if it wasn’t for the favoritism Arg got from the officiating staff, Egypt would have won.
Na today una start to Dey watch ball?😏
Why was Argentina not dominant until England scored the goal and started defending? Isn’t this just common sense? Below are the heat map and 1st/2nd stats of the game. Both were trashy at first until they scored that lucky goal. Good teams don’t play haram football, England did and got punished for it just like Arsenal!

UrVillageChief:
you can only play as well as the other team let's you play
As much as I agree with everything you have said, @bolded is very wrong!
You can only be made to play how the other team lets you play if you go defensive and let them dictate the play to you!
If you go back and start playing low block, you are giving the other team the opportunity to dictate the play.
Did you know that England stopped passing the ball around and going forward immediately after scoring that goal?😂🤣
They started roofing the ball and resorting to time-wasting and you think a good team wouldn’t leverage that?
Again, your opponents don’t dictate how you play, how they play you depends solely on how you present yourself. They will outplay you if you present yourselves to be the underdogs.
Now why didn’t they outplay England when England hadn’t score that first goal and were equally attacking?
Why was it that it was after England scored and started playing Al haram ball that they started getting outplayed like a team that had a red card? Do you think brilliant teams like France, Barca, PSG or Bayern would turn themselves into underdogs and start packing their boxes with 12 defenders just because of a one-goal advantage? Bayern go play you like make them kill you. That Bayern in particular can get their first goal against you at the 90th minute and still end the game 4-0 if you made the mistake of going all-defensive against them. Same goes for France and PSG. I’m giving you this assignment and I’m using Bayern as a case study. What tactic did the only team Bayern lost to in the last season Bundesliga use? Was it operation bus-parking or all-out attack? So yes, England is a terrible team for going haram all because of a goal lead and no, the team isn’t average considering the caliber of players it has and in fact, England has more stars than even Argentina but Argentina is more disciplined and don’t put themselves in the position of underdogs. They win using confidence!

UrVillageChief:
Baby girl, it’s called knowledge and brilliance but sadly, not everyone has it!
Me not coaching doesn’t mean I can’t point out an obvious mistake. I shouldn’t be having this argument with someone who doesn’t even know the correlation between what Tuchel did and Arsenal/Tottenham/Roma😂
If this was your strong suit and you weren’t a baby girl , you would automatically understand and know what they had in common and abeg shift make I follow the owner of that comment talk, he seems far more knowledgeable and surely knows his onions. I’m enjoying the argument with him because I can see he knows what he’s saying. I admire brilliance!

femi4:
honestly

aswani:
A lot to pick on but I'll try my best.

England had no choice, same as Dr Congo had no choice against them.

Both teams were feeling each other out, how many saves did Martinez make in this match. Quite honestly, the game was boring till England scored. Then Argentina decided to turn the volume up.

bentenny:
What has Tinubu got to do with this world cup semis 😒😒

GanagiBitrus:
You are wrong. It wasn't parking bus that invited the pressure. It was the other way round; the pressure led to parking bus.

Tuchel made the 1st, & probably the only defensive, substitution in the 72nd minute; Konsa for Gordon. That was after Argentina had sustained a relentless wave of attacks.

The other substitutions came when the pressure continued. Mind you, Tuchel still kept his attackers: Kane, Bellingham & Rogers, for possible counter attack.

Look Bro, no substitution by Tuchel could have saved England. England simply did not have the Quality & Mental Strength to curtail Argentina after their goal in the 55th minute.
Only thing that could have saved England was if their goal had come very late in the match with no enough time for Argentina to respond.

UrVillageChief:
Bro you are still making the same mistake. I’m glad you rightly pointed out that both teams were boring at first until England scored a fluky goal. I called it fluke because of the action that followed the goal. Argentina didn’t turn up the volume, rather, it’s England that gave them the chance the moment they switched to parking the bus and giving the Argentines the ball more.
This thing is simple and like I said earlier, do you think a team like France or Bayern would start defending a one goal lead? No, that first goal would lead to you conceding more if you played against brilliant teams like these two. Once you mistakingly concede one from them after having defended so much earlier, them go knack you wetin no good.
England were simply outclassed because they weren’t good. They themselves couldn’t believe they could score hence the reason why they started shivering and trying to defend the goal.
They invited the pressure, my friend and they did so without even any counterattacking plan unlike how the Egyptians did. Egypt was always waiting for a chance to counterattack while England was just ballooning the ball to the air. That’s the difference bro!

aswani:
What do you think would have happened if Argentina had scored? They do would have invited England on to them, like Spain did to France, the only difference is they would have had an outlet that England didn't.

I think we agree on more than we don't anyway

Nefort:
Any player can make those average assists. If they were complicated assists I would have understood. If another player made the assists would you have been mentioning his name every where?

arantess:
madam, you think you sound smart by chatting much words?

you cant mask your pretension with plenty grammar, madam jon snow

we will see your brilliant tactics when you become a coach, not with hindsight which is always 10/10

ViceGovernor:
In the last two games of Argentina,
Enzo Fernandez and Lautaro Martinez both have 4 goals between them, without those 2 players Argentina will be in Buenos Aires by now, but somehow you skipped giving the credit to them and started mentioning the assistant goat 😏

jmichael259:
Yes, Yes let me give you more evidence that it is not Messi that is carrying this team to the final.

Wotowotoman:
That’s not a typo!

gracias124:
any black man supporting Argentina doesn't have self respect

ppogba:
Everything English is over hyped. You can see the Anderson guy that Man City abi which team just signed for over £100m.

The likes of Konza, Burn and Ivan Toney will not smell another team.

If you have been on BBC, the accolades on Bellingham is enough to make you throw up

Goo0dHardDick:
Is Spain a joke to you?

Barcelona and real Madrid are in Spain I'm sure you know? Those guys literally founded football. Baba don't joke with Spain at all.

UrVillageChief:
Bless you. If Argentina had been the ones who scored that first goal, they would have frustrated the English with midfield passes, careful professional foulings and other time-wasting tactics and in fact, would be eager to have one more goal at least in order to cement the lead. I’m very sure that this very particular Argentine team would never have turned themselves into the underdogs and would never have given the English the impression that they were superior. you lose woefully immediately you give your opponents the impression that you are scared of them and that’s exactly the mistake England made yesterday . Trust me, if Argentina had scored first that yesterday, the scoreline might be somewhere around 3 to 4 to nil in favor of Argentina. What do you think would have happened if the game had dragged into extra time?😂😂 Trust me bro, it would have been a disaster for England because na basket them for use pack am go house. Didn’t you see it against Switzerland, Cape Verde and Egypt? Why didn’t Argentina stop scoring after gaining one-goal advantage against all these teams? Why did Argentina not start parking the bus immediately Martinez scored the second winning goal?
There you have your answer my bro.

Love800:
Person never pass mbappe, na ronaldo he don pass! Lol!

And who told you messi is greater than ronaldo!

Is it world-cup you use to rate football!

Lol!

aswani:
If the coach doesn't believe his players can go toe to toe, not a hope he'll set up for that.

Argentina were never going to let that game go into extra time, the better teans don't take their foot off your throat.

England are nowhere near as good as Argentina, the coach is being used as a scapegoat

Nefort:

Peacecore:
Ronaldo fans are the dumbest humans roaming freely on earth

Goo0dHardDick:
Are you okay? Have already said Argentina will win. I didn't even expect England to score any goal because they're playing rubbish. Na luck England take reach this semi finals

Dude are you normal? Where in my comment did you see me talking about Ronaldo and Messi? Are they both in Spain?

Oga Carry your pho.oolishness out of my comment

franchasng:
Argentina is bigger and better than England by far. Even if he brought in Saka abi Kaka, brought in Rashford abi Rashidi, Beckham, Thierry Henry, Ronaldo Delima, Ronaldinho, Zidane, De Rossi, etc, Argentina would have still won because of Messi.


You guys don't know who Messi is sha, the guy carry special grace beyond football skill and talent

tonididdy:
Sack that Tuchel now!

This is an embarrassment on England.
... England played with 10men from min1 to 90
Harrykane was air.

godwon01:
England and Super Eagles of Nigeria are 5 and 6. They are always heart breakers. Very useless when you put your hope on them. England coach is very useless. A team is attacking you and you were defending. It will be difficult for England to win the world cup in the near future. One goal down , you were defending. Cape Verde played better than England when they played Argentina.

Goo0dHardDick:
Which facts

Dude if care isn't taken, Spain go flog Argentina wella. Is Spain a joke to you
