Sorry, clearly you don’t know what argentinians feel for Messi. Messi is definitely one of us. Let me tell you, Messi comes back every Christmas to his home city and is celebrated non stop, and everyone in the neighbourhood adores him. He is one of us, as Maradonna was one of us. Agree, different expressions of one culture. Ask anyone and you will hear the same. Messi is in every Argentinian heart ❤.
England sat back a bit too much, but that was also because of fierce attack by Argentina. Stop blaming Tuchel, if Argentina failed to score everyone would've praised the same tactics.
More respect and less prejudice. In all of World Cup history, since 1930, England reached a final just once, and Spain did twice, including the current final. Argentina got there seven times.
I didn't understand why not put atletic wingers to explore this Messi corner? He just low the lines puting more defenders and gave space to Messi do his thing on that side.
This is really tiring to hear ' Its not plain sailing' No.. No. Argentina has quality and when then shift that gear they seems to work. Work Very Well. Each of those passes on top of a 6.7 inch defender is not luck. That's how God kicking the ball looks like. It huts because its 2 1 and that 1 was there for 30 mins. If Argentina was lucky it would have been 4 or 5 1..
There is more than a touch of xenophobia in the criticism of the manager. The players must also take the blame for the lack of tactical awareness on the pitch and inability to close down the game. Rice was the only leader on the pitch. When he departed, they were lost. Kane showed a complete lack of leadership and should not be captain.
I think they even let us score because they have studied us over the last 10 years and what we do when we go one up near the end. Basically we played right in to their trap. we made the subs, sat back and Argentina's plan worked perfectly.
I think Tuchel underestimated Argentina. This is a team who become stronger especially after the 60th minutes!!! First half Argentina forced England to play a very physical & robust games. This is to break down their mental. Second half Argentina changed tactics and shift messi to the right & then the music started 😂😂. They ripped england’s arse opened like a coconut 😂😂
Tim Vickery, you're the South American expert so I would expect you to know this. Argentineans are not obsessed about 1990, and we do not "still sing" about it as you claimed.
The new song La Cuarta Estrella mentions 1994 in the US when Maradona was kicked out, that's what you're referring to ("Y 32 años despues la Scaloneta va a vengar...").
We don't have a previous song about 1990, yes some people might complain about the penalty, was it, was it not? I don't know, we weren't great anyway so I don't care.
There’s only one person who can get England to win a tournament and that person is Blakey from On the Buses who will no longer allow England to park the bus and shall get that bus out.
If there were fewer foreign players in the Premier league more English talent would rise to the top and then they actually would be able to win tournaments like this. England have a limited pool of talent for this very reason and are highly dependent on one or two players. England are incapable of victory in the midst of world class opponents .
Tuchel's tactics aside, it is absolutely mind boggling that England did not anticipate a last minute barrage from Argentina. Did they not watch Argentina's games throughout the World Cup? It was bound to happen.
