Argentina sent like 4 strikers in.  England sent 4 defensive players in lol As someone posted on twitter if you allow them to hit 10000 times at the goal they are bound to score 1 or 2.

Exactly. I dont understand Tuchel's tactics at all.

 

Anyway, better teams reached finals - European Champions vs World Cup winners

This is what happens when you get a German coach

Rooting for Argentina but won’t mind Spain winning at all. If Argentina go on to win again Messi will be forever immortalised and stand atop all legendary footballers. Not many players have won one World Cup let alone 2, I could only think of Ronaldo in the last 50 years but he didn’t actually play any match in 1994.

Cafu won both 1994 and 2002 right? Legendary defender.

 

Those were the days of Cafu, Maldini, Koeman. Cannavaro was a bit after their time.

Tuchel should be sacked by such defensive tactics. You cannot sit back and defend with just 1-0 up against a team like Argentina with 35 mins to go.

 

Very upsetting this loss. Another semi final loss....ugh

isse ache southgate hi tha. German hipster tactician also resorted to 5-4-1 and bringing on a 6 ft 99 oaf to see out a WC semi with more than 20 minutes to go. Even Tony pulis or Big Sam could've done this.

You gotta be good at multiple roles.  Messi doing false nine basically multiple roles is an example. If you suck at one you make up with other. Today Messi lost possession on coutnless occasions. But he more than made up with those crosses. Strikers like Mbappe, Haaland, kane have to score or else nothing else to do. When they don't score they would look ordinary.  Harry Kane does a little more than what he is assigned for.  Haaland was literally strolling most of the match. When there was an opportunity his team mate didn't serve him which effectively made him an useless entity.

There is no one else to do what Messi does, he's a freak. As far as strikers go Kane is as complete as they come.

Exaggeration here, this happened in 4th minute of first half (England scored first after this).

Not that it contributed in Messi going all out.

No, it happened just before the first goal, around 34 mins

Japan and Switzerland did the same and suffered. Switzerland was understandable since they were playing with 10 players.

 

Unless you have 2-0 or 3-0 lead ahead with less than 5 minutes remaining, you never ever must go defensive. I remember a very old interview between Daaktar saab and probably either Asif or Akhtar where they stated that Sehwag was the hardest batsman to bowl to since both Dravid and Laxman always gave opportunities to attack stumps for lbw or bowled, while Viru would try hitting every ball for four

England scored their first goal in 2nd half only. That expression is going viral because Argentina won
