Hate to beat a dead horse, but Tuchel got that one completely wrong. The decision to switch from 4231 to 352 was an emotional one, not a well-informed one.

England vs Argentina tonight promises to be one of the most emotionally-charged matches in World Cup history. Before that, however, let's take a look back at some of their previous encounters to understand why this rivalry is so legendary.

According to @ONTimeSports, a big Egyptian TV channel, there is nothing between Salah and Chelsea, but if Chelsea were to make an offer, Salah has told friends that he would be open to making a return, and Chelsea would be the only English team he would do that for.

The ref has been appointed for this evening’s match and what a great choice 🤣

Spain and their unbeaten run does not bode very well for England or Argentina but every streak comes to an end. Remember Messi and his country's streak came to an end at the last World Cup.

Could it be time for England to end their World Cup curse and reach the final for the first time since 1966 - 60 years - and then go one better and actually win the World Cup for the first time in 60 years too.

Now that Spain have equalled Italy's record unbeaten run could their streak be coming to an end? Argentina and England will be hoping so.

Spain have equalled Italy’s record for the longest unbeaten run in men’s international history.

Classic Becks - once a 3 Lions captain always a 3 Lions captain.

Who would make it into an England/Argentina combined XI? Does Lionel Messi miss out? #England #Argentina #WorldCup

Will David Beckham see an England player replicating his infamous red card when England face Argentina?

At least Becks can’t get sent off from the stands but he has been an ever present supporter of the 3 Lions.

Thomas Tuchel showed his managerial nouse when he gave his side the hairdryer treatment in interviews after the narrow 2-1 win over Norway.

To have lambasted his team after a loss or poor performance like the 0-0 Ghana draw would have been a real morale killer.

Tuchel has his players motivated, hungry and ready to play - morale is clearly high. His players are playing for him and will run through brick walls for him.
