Tuchel decided to put on a load of defenders and just let Argentina have their chance. That second half was on him for his game plan. It’s so bizarre. Wouldn’t expect that from him.

And I’m not English.

It was wild

We will always have Squeaky Kane 😂

of course it bothers me. How on earth could you be happy that anyone dies young. Absolutely disgusting. I've reported the post

You've been a regular little dose of sunshine on this thread all evening, haven't you?

[Tbc, obviously I don't think being happy someone dies young is OK]

That changed my whole view of him 🤣

I agree this is their approach. I don’t like it.

Can anyone tell me how to get tickets in 2030? Do you have to be a member of a football club? Thank you

They watched the rocky films

We will always have Mexico! 😍

This tournament has given me the best 4am Monday morning experience that I have ever, and will ever, know in my life.

Yes the game itself, but having managed to stay quiet throughout the goals and final whistle, I woke the rest of the house up howling at the Harry Kane interview live.

Some people just do all they can to get a rise. Pity them

Posters criticising England's performance really need to rewatch some of Rooney & Co's performances for England. 😳

I don't even know how they have the cheek to criticise the players who have put in a monumental fight at this World Cup (and the previous 4 tournaments)! Rooney of all people should really keep quiet.

Ha ha yes!

I’ve pulled a couple of all nighters watching the matches with you lot and it has been a pleasure and so much fun 😀

My first thought would be what do those who actually live on the Falkland Islands actually want. But you do you.

I believe you are talking about a poll. Do you think its that easy for people to leave what they know. They vote to stay in something out of fear.

Which is what happened in the Scottish independence referendum too. Scottish people that I know, say to me that they want independence, but at the same time, they are very scared of change

Argentina got their subs on ,numerous ones in plenty of time ,they score most of their goals late apparently.

Imagine if we had fresh legs purely feeding Bellingham and kane

They're employed to provide commentary, it would be a bit weird if they kept saying they were amazing if they didn't play well.

What on earth has the Scottish separatist referendum got to do with this?

nightowlzzz · 15/07/2026 23:07

Tuchel apparently contracted till after the next Euros anyway (for those who were asking!)

goingtotown · 15/07/2026 23:07

Touchel messed up. 2 forwards off 2 defenders on. Bad decision.

emm. we are talking about the Falkland islands? It's the top story of the news. Argentina football players are saying that the Falkland islands belong to Argentina

If you can't see the link, I can't help you

get off Tiktok and watch the news :)

I hope they get fined.

But even in that unlikely event, their FA is likely loaded so it won't bother them overmuch. Not that I expect FIFA to take any action against their precious Argentina.

Hey let's talk Brexit !! Let's really have some fun !.everyone hates England , the Falklands belong to Argentina , scottish indepencance !

Anyway I'm so proud of them ,the boys 😍they have given me much entertainment and joy unlike the previous hugely despressing sides

It's probably worth the fine to them.
