Spain respect world cup good guys,Spain Vs England great game even though Spain got result in the end England push them close,special in last ten mins England went into attack mode and had two or three close chances but without two top finishers Kane and Saka taken of by who?.
World cup final all about Spain play attack football even despite rough treatment from opponents to busy to attack Spain's goal,Spanish goalkeeper had a easy day,Argentine goalkeeper gave great performance very active.
Whew when you watch highlights of England vs Argentina it was crash,bang ,wallop on England all through first half and referee no where to be seen.
Then to be told by their English boss to switch to defense mode and defend for 40 pressurized mins is it any wonder the result.
@LozzaFox Of course soon as England went into defence mode under the bosses orders it left the Argentine team free to just pile on attacks, the good thing was the fouls and bashing of England players in first half calmed down,as Argentina to busy free to attack England goal.
Watching Spain against france was great gameplay, Kookerela bossed that game hard almost by himself shut down France, I can see him all over Messi come the final ,when he marks someone they are in a struggle.
In the second half England so busy defending Pickford, Messi was all by him self just waiting for ball to come to him Messi in first half was kept under control,second half he was free to do his damage have a look at replays these points stand out.
If only Kane and Bellingham had ignored the manager and told the rest of the team follow us enough of this park the bus baloney.
Attack is the best defence.
Whew poor England players had world cup final at their finger tips but mismanaged by Tuchel gave game to Argentina on a plate,how can you be 1-0 up at half time,and bring of attack players and go into defence mode.
Argentina went into attack mode and said thanks England.
