That happens when you're playing a CB as an attacking RB. Tuchel got so much wrong and that was a key area. Got potentially the best crosser of the ball sat at home. |  | |  |

They’re dirty cheating scum. They just didn’t need to do it in the second half because we never tried to get the ball [Post edited 15 Jul 22:15]

"They’re dirty cheating scum" It's tough being a football supporter. Norwegians have been saying similar about England these last few days. |  |

I think that’s a bit harsh. There were no dark arts from Argentina involved in beating England. |  |

That’s what I’m saying. They didn’t need it today because we gave them the game from the 55th minute onwards. But they’re dirty cheating scum and it’s what gets them though games when the opposition doesn’t capitulate like we did. It seems to be the national mentality because they’ve been like it for decades. |  | |  |
| Hope Spain win the final on 22:53 - Jul 15 with 955 views | ITFCson | Don’t let your disappointment cloud your judgement. Argentina were the better team and deserved to win. We got 1 nil ahead and that was our chance but poor tactics cost us. Plus they have a magician on their team that we couldn’t get close to. |  | |  |
| Hope Spain win the final on 00:00 - Jul 16 with 846 views | armchaircritic59 | Playing like what? 100% effort and commitment and their usual we will not be beaten attitude. And it wasn't them who had 12% possession in the 37 minute spell between our goal and their winner. Best team my a wide margin won. I'm not a great fan either, but I'm also not blind. Right about the crosses though! |  | |  |

We did get close to him though, for over an hour he was totally anonymous and visibly frustrated. We then sat back and afforded him the sort of time and space he could only dream of in an MLS game, let alone a world cup semi final. Entirely self inflicted, albeit Argentina took advantage of our timidity very effectively. |  | |  |

There definitely were in the first half. They tried all sorts. |  | |  |

They are known as being a first side for a reason, obviously. Although we weren’t exactly immune to the ‘dark arts’ ourselves in the first half. Looking for fouls, exaggerating contact, in the ref’s ear, in the 4th official’s ear. It was pretty ugly from both sides imo. |  |

Trent would have got the cross in .... just saying! Some mistakes were made by TT even before a ball was kicked this tournament. |  | |  |

Is this a joke? Enzo's chop to the back of Andersons head in the 3rd minute as one example? Five fouls from Simeone and no yellow? One foul on messi then is the first yellow? Granted last 30, bizarre tactics brought the trouble on ourselves. But the early yellow card could have made a difference as Enzo was one of the goalscorers. I am not sure if I am alone but i feel like too many fans have their heads in the sand about clear patterns of controversy in football involving specific teams. [Post edited 16 Jul 12:58]

| Hope Spain win the final on 13:01 - Jul 16 with 483 views | mellowblue | I hope the best team wins, should be fascinating. Argentina did not do much different to what they always do, take it for granted. I like it that certain teams have different personalities. Old man Messi, fabulous how he measures out his energy, comes on strong when he needs to. Supreme footballer, skill, tactical awareness, the whole works (apart from penalties). Interesting, like us in the Premier 24/25, playing 4-2-3-1 or slight variant of is easily snuffed out when the other side have better or an extra midfielder. Both England and France found that out. |  | |  |

They are a nasty horrid team and yes they did maybe get away with a bit early doors, but in general the ref did a pretty good job, and the only team to blame for our loss is our own..... sadly |  | |  |

I agree he handled most of the game better than I expected, but i think the bar was low from the previous Argentina matches. |  | |  |

Sorry - I meant we could not get close to him once we scored and retreated. Like you say, before that we were coping fine. |  | |  |

Would be nice to see Trump hand the world cup over to Spain. Worst country ever, even worse than the Iranians. |  | |  |
