FIFA World Cup 2026

[Ali_Baba]

Football is not coming home, the England team is..

England in defensive mode after 1-0 when still 35 min are left....

I don't get the game plan, after scoring a goal England just parked the bus, they only started to attack after Argentina 2nd goal.

 

[K2RULEZ]

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.

 

[Master Chief]

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.

Defensive BS again costs us...
Let's be honest Argentine attack is powerful and they ran through England.

Oh well, here's me hoping Pro Palestine Spain can stop Zionist Argentina.

England really defaulted into trying to defend a 1 - O lead running back and putting no pressure on anyone. England manager had no confidence in his team scoring 2nd goal tries to close shop Lol

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.

 

[Master Chief]

Think Messi was offside when he received the pass.........

I was thinking exactly this! They showed the replay once and he looked offside, then they never showed that replay again!

Yes. Spain should win the World Cup.

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

 

[KingQamaR]

Gotta give it to Argentina, they were the better team Well deserved win for Argentina.

 

[Master Chief]

Coworker of mine has said repeatedly Argentina has a strong late game.

this. You'd think Tuchel would have figured it out.

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

Do they slip in some PED's during the last hydration break ? Something is sus about Argentina.

 

[Waz]

Yes. Spain should win the World Cup.

Can only hope and pray.



Let's go Yamal.
