Giving Lionel Messi the ball and freedom to do whatever the fuck he wants for 30 minutes is single handedly the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen a football manager do
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.
MICHAEL OWEN: England aren't 'brave' for the way they beat Mexico. The reaction drives me mad. Play like that vs France, Spain or Argentina and we'll get our backsides kicked https://t.co/M2uNuBdBmM
Tuchel wanted to play a deep block in a knockout game and left his best box defender home. I’ll never understand why managers do such fancy unpopular bs. Just keep it simple.

The Norwegian goal kick hit an overhead cable and fell right in front of an England player and seconds later they converted for a goal. (Great by Bellingham.) No call, not reviewable?! But as we know, sometimes things can suddenly are reviewable and reversible...
