England scored the first goal and then just imploded. What the hell were they thinking, approaching it like this.

Maybe the answer is that they were just tired and the subs didn't help either.

The rise of Argentina has a funny coincidence with the fall of Germany.
Germany eliminated Argentina in 2006, 2010 and 2014. Since then Germany just sucks and Argentina has made the finals twice (and losing in the finals to Germany in 2014). That makes me smile.

I really wanted England to get another WC, but playing like this, it is just not deserved.

That was disgraceful from England, really. They are a competitive team, it's unbelievable that they stopped playing after scoring and went full defense as if they were an inferior team.

Yeah that was way too early to concede any sort of control of the game. 1-0 after 85 minutes? Sure, go all out defense. But not with 30 minutes left to play. I think Tuchel has actually done a lot of really smart in-game managing this world cup, could see it vs Norway for example, but this was bad.

I feel sorry for all the little kids crying in the stands. That’s stupid - they are privileged and having a blast going to the wc etc - but still

Another match where Argentina delivers a heartbreaker comeback to the opponents.

Tbh England didn't deserve to get to the final.

The average level of our performance has been quite poor.

Do I want Tuchel as a WC winner or Argentina winning another cheated WC?! :D

Worth noting that no team in the history of the World Cup has ever won it with a non-national manager.

Well well well, the streak continues lmao

Also Tuchel totally bottled it. I mean just look at the threat/momentum chart before and after the goal. Totally 50/50 game before, you could argue that England were actually slightly better with how they were defending the last line. Then just total shut down, park the bus, for 40 minutes against the greatest player and playmaker of all time, against long shot and cross specialists like De Paul, Enzo as well. Scaloni made excellent choices too like getting Montiel on there and letting Macca just make continuous runs into the box, should've scored at least one of those chances he got.

It was refreshing to see 2 semi finals without strange VAR decisions and penalty shootouts.

Both refs seemed solid, and let the players play. They had some trouble controlling the very emotional players, but I can forgive it.

The games were not about the reffing, as it should be.

Tuchel basically did what Southgate was constantly criticised for

Be in a decent spot, concede all momentum to hold on and when it ends up not working you don’t have the personnel to turn it around

Disappointing performance for sure

He made the same mistake as Koeman. We lost the lead against Japan in the same way. Then played with 5 defenders against Morocco and were knocked out. When you have a team with good players you should just play your own game.
