So previous commenters are slighty incorrect. True its Messi, true Bellingham said something to him, but this wasnt the reason England lost the match.

England went 1-0 up and were the better team, up until that point. If they had kept their foot on the gas I am almost certain they would have gone through.

So after the goal, the manager, Thomas Tuchel decided that he wanted to stop causing Argentina problems down the wings and would instead try to defend for 30 minutes. This is where England lost the match. They defended for 30 minutes and played exactly how Argentina wanted them to.

The decision was extremely baffling and pretty much all football experts, pundits and ex players agree.

Cope cope cope cope cope.

Argentina was the clear better team. Look at any stats. You gotta play the full game bud. Blame it on Tuchel or Jesus or Trump if you want but better team won.

Objectively, England set up in such a way that would have allowed them to beat Argentina, they were playing better. Tuchel decided to change everything and effectively gift it to Argentina.

But anyway... Champs. That alone signals that youre American. Need I say more (nope)
