The most damning for Tuchel, even if you think he isn’t responsible for this embarrassment, is that he had a drink break to change everything. He had 4 minutes to make sure the players would do something different than the previous 10 minutes, to change things. And it got worse!!
🚨JUST IN: Telegraph Sport understands that Tuchel’s approach and his defensive changes to try to see out a 1-0 win stunned some England players. There was belief within the squad that Argentina were there for the taking once Gordon put England ahead and that Argentina could have been hit on the counter attack with the introduction of more pace. https://t.co/yHn0jjLuIp

Thomas Tuchel reflects on England's Euro2024 campaign 🏴
#ITVFootball | #ThreeLions | @England | @GabrielClarke05
Beyond the 70th minute in high intense games he’s rarely done anything. Euro 2024 he was off the pitch for the Watkins winner and the Palmer equaliser. Southgate at least knew when his race was ran. Tuchel is happy to run him into the ground. He’s similar to Haaland only needing 1 touch to change a game but he doesn’t get up the pitch quick enough in the last quarter of matches. No way it’s his fault tonight but it’s a constant pattern.
"The decisions Thomas Tuchel made, we have to be honest on this, have cost us tonight." 😬
Wayne Rooney believes England's switch to a back five is what proved costly.
England have endured devastating World Cup semi-final heartache in years gone by, but this one perhaps felt even worse than ever before.
Back in 1990 they lost to West Germany on penalties in crushing circumstances, but had chased the game for the most part and grabbed a late equaliser in a match they were underdogs for.
In 2018 they led for much of the game against Croatia before being pegged back from the 68th minute onwards in a tournament they were never expected to win.
Here? To be 1-0 up in the 85th minute and having looked like the more competent side, well, to lose was almost beyond words.
Attention in the fallout will undoubtedly focus on Thomas Tuchel’s uber-defensive approach, rather than any individual mistakes England players made.

I don’t even mind the idea of 5 at the back. What I mind is the fact that even before the equaliser, Argentina were creating chances and England had no out-ball, so there was time to admit you got it wrong, sack it off and bring Saka on for a CB and go back to 4-3-3.
2 - There are just two occasions of a team scoring first in the semi-final but not reaching the final of the FIFA World Cup in the 21st century – both of them are England (vs Croatia in 2018 and Argentina in 2026).
Familiar.
1. Argentina were not creating much to warrant shifting to 5 at back
2. Tuchel even had time to ditch the disastrous idea of 5 at back as Argentina were creating chances even before the equaliser
All in all those are the worst in-game changes that you will see. Sold the match.

"Escute aqui, não apareça mais no estádio. Vc tentou nos vender. Se você vestir essa camisa da Argentina de novo, vamos te pegar, vamos te espancar até o inferno."
