Watch Spain at 1-0 last night. That’s courage. That’s bravery. And then watch England at 1-0. What’s the difference?
We are a better team than Argentina, I’ve no doubt in my mind. But we deserved to get beat in the end. In fact, it could have been 4-1.
Bringing on 3 defenders at 1-0 up. What message does that send? I wrote it in my Daily Mail column after the Mexico game. Until we understand that courage and bravery is controlling possession under pressure and not booting / heading it up the field 40 yards then this will always be the end result.
Spain go 1-0 up against France, do they sit back? No, they go and get another goal and finish them off.
England go 1-0 up and you’ve got 32 defenders sat behind the ball.
Two completely different mentalities.
Tuchel is such a fucking coward. You were going toe to toe with them and preventing shots at goal, and decided to give up the game after the one goal lead. It’s so frustrating.
