Look, it’s maybe a bit soon to make this sort of call, since that only just happened. But this is one of the greatest comebacks I’ve EVER seen. In a game this big, two goals so late? Absolutely incredible from Argentina.
England are paying the price for Thomas Tuchel’s decision to go too defensive, too early. After Gordon’s goal, they’ve sat back too deep, Argentina have had all the ball, all the momentum, and to some degree this has felt inevitable because of that. Now they’ve got six minutes to rescue the situation – but the cue, in a tactical and personnel sense, is already in the rack. If England lose this, Tuchel is going to be crucified.
