Icelandic here, who was really rooting for England to finally win the World Cup again. The English did not play bad, it was Tuschel who lost the game when he took off Gordon, England's goalscorer and one of the best players (if not the best) in the match when there's more 30 -40 minutes left and decides to play 5 at the back, of which 3 play for high pressing Man City where Guardiola BANS his defenders to park the bus. They have little to no experience playing with 5 defenders parking the bus. It was ridiculously stupid and a childish decision, and honestly, it was one of the worst tactical decisions I've seen from a coach at this high level.
I don't mind losing against Argentina. What hurts id the way we lost. All the blood sweat and tears to get this far then go and invite pressure and go out with our tails between our legs. Gutted. We're 3 lions not 3 kittens
Losing by defending is worst than losing by attacking
