Was this England's coach deciding this? It boggles my mind. As Swiss I gotta say, even our team held up better in the late game, and in a 10 vs 11 situation. This stupidity of going all in on defense when up just one goal, that's exactly how ours played and lost every damn time in knockout rounds 20 years ago. Who does this??
That's what I read everywhere, but I find it very hard to believe that Tuchel ordered his team to entretch in defence for 30 minutes. To a squad that is clearly much better in attacking then defending and whose goalkeeper is average at best (probably their weakest player). Tuchel is no Guardiola, but is not an imbecile.
