After England’s loss to Argentina in the World Cup semi-final, Thomas Tuchel says he will stay on as head coach until the 2028 European Championships. There has been big criticism of Tuchel’s tactics in the semi-final blockbuster against Argentina, with many claiming it was too negative.
You Cannot Retreat Against Argentina and Expect to Win
When it came to big decisions in the game, Tuchel made it very difficult for England to win. With a 1-0 lead and five minutes of the 90 remaining, it went wrong for England once again. The decision in the 71st minute to go to a back five changed the game. From that moment on, Argentina had 93% ball possession, and with players like Messi, you are asking for trouble.
England will now have to get ready for a third-place match against France on Saturday in Miami. Tuchel said:
We have to wait another four years to go again to another World Cup. In itself it’s an achievement; of course it’s a semi-final. A lot of big teams are eliminated before the semi-final. It’s an achievement; no one wants to hear that at the moment, me neither. We demand the most of ourselves because we are so competitive.
