I never saw a team in a World Cup semifinal score 1x0 and retreat with so much time left. Instead of continuing to push for the second goal, England basically invited Argentina to attack and turn the game around.
There is nothing complicated about the loss -- Tuchel shut up shop more or less straight after England's goal with more than half the game left! That may have worked against Mexico, but Argentina are way better than them. They loved it when England sat back. It brought Messi into the game, and the more they attacked, the more confident they became and the less confidant England became. Tuchel is to blame. Simple as that.
