After England's heart-breaking semi-final defeat to Argentina, we look back at their journey through the 2026 World Cup, with Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane leading the way for Thomas Tuchel's side.
I was disappointed by that take the lead _ park the bus debacle in the semifinals but Argentina were like an international version of Atletico Madrid.....
Gentlemen, men of the England football team. Thank you for yet another amazing tournament. I absolutely enjoyed following you through to the semis. Your strength and courage I watched, was second to none. As hard as it may be. You have a fine, fine team. Improvements will be made. It would be great to see England with a solid regular back four. A regular right-back, left-back and 2 centre-backs. I won £350 on the Mexico match. The best I have seen England play in my lifetime. So, as far as I am concerned, I won the World Cup. Stay strong, with gratitude☮☮❤❤⚽⚽

Absolutely gutting to watch. I can't believe we let it slip after Gordon's opener. For those of us still learning the game, how does the refereeing actually work in these high-pressure moments? It felt like so many calls went against us. Tough one to take.

Hard to watch that semi-final again, but what a run overall. Tuchel has definitely brought a different tactical discipline to the squad compared to previous cycles. I wonder if they’ll finally shake off that psychological hurdle against Argentina in the next tournament, or if the gap in temperament is just too wide? Truly heartbreaking exit.

Brutal way to go out. That Gordon goal had me thinking we finally had the run, but those late heartbreaks are the worst—like losing a perfect game on the final level. Absolute gut punch. Do you think we had the right lineup to close it out?

Absolutely shocking news. Truly a tragedy regardless of where you stood politically. Hard to wrap your head around something like this happening. Thoughts go out to her family.
