@Richie2106@themichaelowen Not duting the first ‘60 mins of play. And possession means nothing how many teams keep possession and don’t score goals or generate chances
@LordMurielo@themichaelowen England is better than Argentina but Tuchel was not better than Scaloni. Poor tactics can turn a better team into the loser team. That’s what Michael means
@GarzonPiggy79@themichaelowen I think you have to stop and think that he means England’s 2026 squad, not historically, trophy-wise or in any other context, is better than Argentina’s 2026 squad. Losing one match due to poor tactics by a 1 goal difference doesn’t make a team worse than the other
@luchoinvesting @themichaelowen Up until the ‘60th minute England was the better team. And they could’ve ended the match as the better team if they had the resources from the bench and determination to keep possession and generate play. Trophy history has nothing to do with being the better team
@WSJ Attacking teams need to regain possession of the ball cleanly or else they cannot score. They can play (and maybe the foul forgotten) but they cannot score. Egypt lost the match because of poor defending and poor strategy/ substitutions later in the game. Not because of VAR
@WSJ How can FIFA possibly make everyone happy? If VAR now needs to start calling out standard fouls as they occur, the game would be disrupted all too often. If FIFA were to cap the distance or time for an Attacking Phase of Play (APP), that would be illogical and unfair
