On that we agree. 

Still should never bet against your country in a game like this. Poor form imo. 

I tend to agree.

But I could see it happening. Easy money (sadly).

[AlexLaw76]

I hope Kane retires

 

[RedArmy]

Do not let that German cunt on the plane. 
 

What a fucking shambles. 

[SWLondon Saint]

Commentators so full of shit as well, we threw it away by not playing after we scored, stop glazing Argentina.

[StrangelyBrown]

Tuchel is dog shit 

[ChristopheVAFC]

Ho shit really 😞

Just wish I had to be honest, it was so obvious.

[adrian lord]

Well, one thing I certainly won’t do is watch the World Cup final on Sunday. 

[BotleySaint]

Just a bizarre tactical move by Tuchel. To see wave after wave of attack, chance after chance and do nothing to stop it.

[sadoldgit]

We over performed to get to the semis but bottled it in this game. The best team won but we made it easy for them by inviting them on.

[Sheaf Saint]

Fuck off Tuchel.

Just fuck the fuck off you spineless prick.

[Whitey Grandad]

Whi is it that all of us could see this coming yet not this fraud of a manager. 

[Suhari]

Tuchel should be hung at the Tower of London.

Absolutely, fucking atrocious decisions. Woeful.

[CB Fry]

What a pile of steaming shit

[saintant]

Unfortunately when the Argies went behind they decided to start playing football and were deserved winners.

[washsaint]

Tuchel should be fired tonight.  Fucking useless prick cost England the game.  IT was there to be won and instead of trying to get the killer second the genius thought they coud sit right back and keep Argentina out for 35+ minutes.

Utter embarrassment and the right team won - England did not deserve anything from that game and it's not like they are the plucky underdogs like Cape Verde or Egypt.  They had the skills and power up front to do damage and chose not to.

Spineless management

[adrian lord]

Absolute fiasco from the second that goal went in by England

[skintsaint]

The game management after our goal was fucking diabolical. Soon as Gordon went off for Konsa we were done. Got worse and worse after that.

You're mental mate.

[badgerx16]

Good to have 2 Spanish speaking teams in the final in Trump's America.

[hypochondriac]

How is that better than Southgate? And I hate the prick.

What they lack in talent they make up for in shithousery. This will be difficult to overcome. 

Probably the biggest danger is us scoring first, sitting back encouraging them on to us while the ref tries to even things up. No place for hiding this time.  

Damn.

[Whitey Grandad]

No-one,  nothing to blame except ourselves.

[Gloucester Saint]

Ran out of ideas after 70 minutes and unlike the Azteca, Argentina had the quality to put world class deliveries in and test Pickford.

[StrangelyBrown]

Who next from the England manager tombola?

Need someone who can organise a shower of shit who think they're something special....

[aintforever]

Classic England, went one nil up then shit their pants.

[obelisk]

Let's face it. Argentina could have scored 3 or 4 after England nicked a lead. Just a shame to go out with a mighty whimper.

[Turkish]

FFS played last 25 minutes with no outlet so much space wide pros ably better team for first hour but so defensive handed them it

Nope. We were the better team until we scored, then we decided to not bother playing any more. What would Spain have done? They'd have kept up their high press and kept trying to get possession. 

[HarvSFC]

Probably the most amateurish game management I've seen, and we've had some pretty awful managers on the south coast. Take the lead, take a load of attackers off for defenders. They dominate, no change, they equalise, no change, they win the match.

What an utterly miserable couple of months of football, right guys? We've been so close to two finals and had it snatched away.

[whelk]

Get Kevin Keegan back

They were absolutely a class above us after we scored

And used to winning the biggest prizes = belief. 

[sadoldgit]

Argentina were able to go up several gears while we were stuck in reverse.

As for those who think that Messi is crap, give your head a wobble.

[BotleySaint]

Scoring the goal was the worst thing that happened to us. Immediately went defensive and sat back. Why can't we just behave like a normal team.

[adrian lord]

Blimey, I’m finding myself agreeing with Wayne Rooney

[Whitey Grandad]

It's so basic. You defend from the front. Not by filling the penalty area with defenders. 

[SWLondon Saint]

Well yeah, because we stopped doing everything that had gotten us to that point. We stopped being physical and pressing and just let them walk it up to our box.

[Zorba]

I didn’t see that coming..

Oh wait. Yes I did.

[skintsaint]

Pickfords positioning on both goals was awful too by the way.

Some real quality - De Paul's crosses, some excellent shots, hit the post. Deserved their goals. We deserved fuck all the way we sat back and invited pressure 

[saintant]

Let's face it, this team wouldn't have beaten Spain in the final.

He was until we decided to stand off him.

What a fucking shambles. 

Tuchel has to take much blame for the tactical approach at 1-0.    Way too early to put up the shutters and defend so deep with those defensive substitutions.  Sure Argentina lifted a gear but the momentum and space was handed to them.   In the end it was a meek and avoidable surrender.

I don't think we ran out of ideas.

The manager closed down our options to have ideas.

If we'd played as we were for another 10-15 minutes after scoring, I think we'd have seen the job through.

Awful management.

[ally_uk]

Ahwell that was shite.... 

Saints v Eastleigh soon though lads hey ho! 🤣

Just showed lack of belief, a good side would have kept it the same and looked to nick a second.

[Micky]

Some of the most bizarre and inept 'tactics' I have witnessed in any professional game. Get in front and then, with over a third of the game still to go, try and defend deep against the world champions.  Total and utter suicidal garbage.

The first. Maybe. But the header?
