The Athletic FC Podcast · What now for Tuchel and England? · 16 Jul 2026 podcast

Do you know what I mean?

And that's what Tuchel said about the gaps were too big, right?

So he was bringing on more defenders.

Like if you are going to concede a million crosses, then you might as well have Dan Byrne to try and head them away, which I get.

The save from Pickford, the ball that bounced on his line, I think from a Gonzalez header, that was an inch perfect cross from Lionel Messi.

And the reaction was, let's try and head those crosses away, not let's try and stop them at source.

And obviously in the first half, England pressed really aggressively.

And there were some hairy moments that required some quite impressive skill from Christian Romero to get out of trouble.

And it was really working.

And when you think about player profiles, Argentina have a lot of aggressive but also technical midfielders on the pitch.

Very little pace.

So they don't have the wingers that we possess.

So what Argentina would have preferred is to be camped in our half rather than having to try and

This is what they do, right?

This is what they've done throughout the World Cup.

Yeah, they're the kings of late comebacks.

They have the greatest player of all time, specifically greatest playmaker of all time.

So they will create chances and everything.

So it's tempting to view it purely through the lens of England gifting them this victory.

Yeah.
