World Cup 2026

Defending a 1 goal lead for almost 30 minutes was suicide

This. Tuchel did so well t the world cup and then when it mattered morphed into southgate

Either way I hope Spain don't choke on Sunday, if this Argentina spawn another world cup like last time it will be shit. They have been incredibly ordinary

They've been brilliant since England scored ffs. What more do you want?

Messi ran the game.

Argentina 2-1 winners. The wait goes on for England to reach World Cup final never mind winning it.  Some difference in the mindset of both managements after 1-0.

Yes a very ordinary team with no real striker, but like Spain against France, they can turn up on the day, with self believe as defending champs. As William Mummy said, "Deserve got nothing to do with it"

England were cowards.

100%
10 men behind the ball, 30 yards from goal.

Within two mins of going one up Kane's making a clearance in own box. Sir Gareth would took some flak with how England played after going one up.

England didn't have a striker either.

Were they? England sat back unbelievably deep for some bizarre reason and invited Argentina to attack in waves. Pathetic from Tuchel

[nrico2006]

A few of those Argentina players are hard to like.

Kane has never counted in the big games.

A deserved win for Argentina.

Toul yis not to panic 😎😜

England. Always competitive. Never easy beat. But time and time again first good team they play they'll be beat. It will be close. It will be heroic. But they'll be beat

Here endeth the lesson

[SouthOfThe Bann]

Messi stood up when they needed him with 2 assists.

Makes Kenny Cunningham look even more daft with his comments on RTE

[J70]

Thank Christ!

Messi was brilliant in those last 20 minutes. And all England's defenders and Lautauro is completely unmarked a couple of yards out for the easiest goal he'll ever score.

Not sure what the weekend is going to be like, but it's a good job this game wasn't here in NYC today. Heat index of 104 F and wildfire smoke from Canada combining to make the air barely breathable.

[rodney trotter]

That was an onslaught from Argentina in the second half. England scored from a rare attack. 2 great sides in the final.

[imtommygunn]

Rooney bang on. Went 1-0 up and didn't know what to do.
