@Higgins said in FIFA World Cup:

Except that Darren Bazeley is a Pom!

Nobody's perfect!

(Especially if they are English)..

Maybe his job was to wave a white flag?

@sparky The British left (of the twitter variety anyway) are fucking insufferable. Tuchel needed to print this off 50 times, slap it on the dressing room walls and get the lads firing.

C’mon lads, play with passion, play with pride. Please for the love of sweet Jesus keep the pace up, go for the press and make space. This is gonna be spicy!

2 minutes in and the spice had commenced…

Dog shit game

How simeone doesn't have a card yet is beyond me

The fuck has it taken this long for the first card. Both teams guilty of shithousery, very little fluidity as both keen to mark their territory

First World Cup since record of these things were made (1966) not to have a shot in the first half hour.

No shots on goal in the first half.

A combined total of 0.08 XG so far.

That’s the first half. No doubt a heated occasion, but very little football played as both teams preventing each other from finding flow. England need to stay motivated otherwise they’ll revert to staying back and creating little. Kane has been anonymous.

It's a pity Elliot Anderson was booked. He has been excellent so far but you have to wonder how long Tuchel is willing to risk having him out there. A lot of baiting by both teams. It's a terrible game.

Djed Spence skinned twice by Alvarez at the start of the second half.

@sparky Very different Spence from the first half.

Tony Gordon in with the first

take it back

What an assist by Morgan Rogers!

Shades of play from the Southgate era. England hanging back, passive defence, zero press. Argentina all over them.

They won’t win like this
Riding their luck

So fucking frustrating, it’s just all to predictable from England.

I just hope England can hit them on the counter when the chance comes

MacAllister might have blown it for the Argies. He should have scored from there. Even Lisandro Martinez should have done better with his chance.

MiketheSnow

Told you
Dumb, dumb football

Some ping that, but it’s just so utterly uninspiring, so utterly predictable from England. Score from a counter against the run of play, then put all eleven players behind the ball to help ride out the 90. Complete pish.

African Monkey

Now England have a team full of defenders out there.

Playing not to lose is the most cowardly way to lose.

sparky

Argentina = mentality monsters.

Absolutely no fucking movement on attack. This is not a world cup winning team.

Harry Kane chose the worst time to have his worst game in an England jersey.

@sparky Utter dross eh. He’s been totally anonymous. Let’s face it, England were hugely reliant on HK and JB - both have been absolutely nullified by the Argies

Donsteppa

Same old England.

nzzp

Tactically can't believe England just gave up.

MiketheSnow

Argentina could easily have had 4

Better team won
