You cannot sit back and defend against a team with thier quality.
If we had carried on playing like we did for 70 minutes we would have won.
We invited them on.

Sir Geoff Hurst, the only living Englishman to have played in a world cup final.

And that was sixty years ago.

That final ~20mins plus added time was the worst England played all tournament, you can't invite pressure like that against a consistently top team like Argentina.

I agree but we scored in the 55th minute so it was actually 30 minutes of defending until they scored.
Very disappointed with Tuchel and his tactics.

I thought it was very classy of Hart to basically put Richards in his box and take a moment to acknowledge the players, as well as Remind viewers that a semi is something they'd never achieved (fnarr fnarr).

Happens time and time again, play well, take the lead and then bring more defenders on and sit back inviting the opposition on to you.

Fecking stupid.

We're used to that with West Ham Joe
