Watch Spain at 1-0 last night. Thatโs courage. Thatโs bravery. And then watch England at 1-0. Whatโs the difference?
We are a better team than Argentina, Iโve 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 youโve 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. Itโs so frustrating.
