Hello.
I've been better.
I've been better.
Yeah.
It's a familiar feeling though, isn't it?
And every two years it comes back and you're reminded of just how gutting it is.
And then we go again.
Yeah.
As much as we try to think rationally about these things, and I've seen a lot of people make the point that
The defensive substitutions from Tuchel were almost a reaction to how the team had started playing.
And, you know, if we were retreating into our own box, do you want proper defenders on the pitch or do you want midfielders in those positions?
So there is kind of justification for what he did, I guess, if you watch it back.
The performance, these performances were, they felt...
not even Southgate-esque, but almost more intentionally defensive than what Southgate teams did.
So everyone's talking about Croatia 2018, Italy 2021.
Those were kind of, I don't know if subconscious is the right word, but like instinctive retreats where, like against Italy, for example, they were playing 3-4-3, that became 5-2-3, and eventually Italy scored.
In this game, you're bringing on defenders, so it feels more intentional.
And the appointment of Tuchel was meant to bring an end to that
and turn England into more of a protagonist team that would play football of the favourites rather than underdog football.
But seemingly it takes more than one cycle and a German manager saying let's go win the World Cup to undo that psychological kind of instinct that no matter how many of the England players play for elite club teams in an international shirt that still seems to be deeply ingrained in them.
