It did look like men vs. boys at times. Argentina's two goals could well have been four.

Their first goal reminded me of Saints v Ipswich a couple of seasons ago. Pack the box but leave acres of space on the edge of the area.

It is the same old pattern. The first truly good team played ends in defeat. Take the lead in semis or the final, sit back, lose. You would think that, simply by the law of averages, that it would eventually lead to a win. But, no. It will just never happen. Given the players England have had over the years, the return of one single win is a total joke. I am already resigned to the fact the I will never see England win anything in my lifetime. But it would be nice to actually see the team be brave and try and win rather than hope for the opponent to fail. Tuchel needs to go.

Same old - defend for 40 mins on the 18 yard box against a team that can pick a pass - they will get it right in the end and they did on at least 4 occasions (2 goals and 2 off the post). Until we learn how to play when we are in the lead we will win nothing.

Same old story. For decades we’ve been doing this, we fail every time

Yeah, scared to take Kane off. We also failed to get tighter on our left side, where virtually every attack was coming from.

Tuchel absolutely fucked it. Southgate would've been buried for that tactical disaster class. His entire reputation has been built on parking the bus to an unlikely champions league win with Chelsea. He was shite at PSG, and is about the only Bayern Munich manager in 15 years to not win a the one team Bundesliga. Aimlessly throwing on more defenders - none of whom could block crosses or mark shorter players in the box - was amateur hour. Just handed all the momentum to Argentina. Another Harry Kane no show, by the way, at the business end of a tournament. Total passenger out there. Happens every time: fills his boots in the groups, then disappears as the stakes rise. Got what we deserved, unfortunately.

England are very Saintsy. Or vice versa.

1970 for me. Peter Bonetti.....!

Think Spain will beat Argentina.

We will never win a major tournament. Painful when you support a club that never wins anything either.

It was like a championship game plan go 1 up then just sit back which works very well v likes of Sheff Wed but not Argentina. Too negative, cant belive manager thought England probably won't get any more chances and decided to stay in 25 yard box and hope they miss.

The rankings are; Argies #1, Spain #2, France #3, England #4.

"And Jesus said "turn the other cheek. That way you can show off your other 'Sod off, Romans!' tattoo."

When you’ve got Saka and Watkins, one a PL winner and the other a European champion last term, and you don’t use them and bring on Burn, O’Reilly and James, you’ve just said to Argentina ‘don’t worry about tracking back on the counter, we’ve given up, park around our 25 yard areas and overload with crosses, runners and Messi weaving patterns, Harry didn’t have a prayer.

I might have too of I could have understood a word he said.

I’ve been watching them screw up since 1968.

Enjoyed that!

Defending for 40 minutes is unforgivable. Tuchel hasn't done much wrong, but that game management was wrong. Fucking fuming.

The best of, if not worlds, then venting options on social media 🙂

Tuchel has to go. That was Southgate on steroids. Moronic.

England are just not very good at football, whoever is manager is not going to change that.

Watkins! I'd forgotten he was even there.

If you’re paid the extra £ms to not panic like Southgate did at the crunch moments, and you panic even more, than yes

Exactly we only had Kane as a striker and for all his qualities pace isn’t one. Every time it went forward it kept coming back, no outlet wide and as has been said give players of that quality of the ball around the area they’re going to hurt you. so disappointing
