Replying To WanPintWin:  "Correct. Tuchel will be the sole scapegoat and easy target, but the players themselves have to take a huge amount of the blame. They hardly put two passes together after they scored. Tuchel definitely made some poor calls also, but the players have to take the bulk of the responsibility.
There were 35 minutes left when they scored, and we had 9 minutes of injury time. Argentina had 88% possession in that time, which is staggering, and a large chunk of it in England's half in and around the box.
A bit of luck and they could have held out, and people would be hailing a backs to the wall performance. But they made a rod for their own backs by completely retreating.
Compare that to Spain who continued to be brave after scoring the first goal against France on Tuesday. They kept doing what they knew gave them the best chance and trusted themselves. They ended up neutralising France completely, got the second goal and were unlucky not to get another.
As with 4 years ago, people have questioned Argentina's quality. They're not going to overwhelm teams and will even struggle with teams they should be beating more comfortably, but that's not how to judge a team with their characteristics.
They are incredible battlers, will give a match to anyone and then have some real quality in key moments. This team has character in spades. How they dug in 4 years ago in the final when France equalised is still one of the most impressive things I've seen in soccer. Most teams would have folded in that scenario, but they actually got back on top in the game and the rest is history. Spain will be favourites, but I'd be surprised if they get anything easy on Sunday. I expect Argentina to give them a much bigger challenge than France did.
Looking forward to it."
