FIFA World Cup 2026

England asked for it. Didn't stop Messi at all.......

They are playing defensively since going 1- 0, and that got trashed by Argentina coming back from behind once again.

The first goal is offside tho.......I should say, but the second goal England just gave up...

If you don't play 90 minutes offensively, you are going to pay the penalty. Welcome to modern day football. Only a handful of teams have mastered the art of defending a lead. Italy is one of them.
 
England is too defensive now.
Exactly the problem.

Such absolute tripe from England. Threw this game away with poor game management.

Time and time again in this tournament, a team that WILLINGLY goes 5 at the back, all out defence with only a narrow lead, has been found out. England failed to learn the lessons of previous rounds and of other teams' experiences.

After you score one goal, you're supposed to (a) go all out for a second or (b) play a possession strategy. England did neither and handed possession to Arg. And here we are.
 
Damn!!!
For me they are still better than the P-a-k-i bashing Brits.
Most Pakis were neutral or supporting england my whole family was supporting england including me
England's history with anti Pakistani racism isn't that well known unfortunately at least outside of the UK. But who cares
Its all just 24 gay dudes running after a big 'ole ball, its not that deep.

England does this all the time. With Argentina playing around England box they were eventually going to score and they did.

Attack is also a way to defend your lead. Its also when losing side is desperate and leave gaps in their defence.
