Late Argentina Surge Ends England’s World Cup Dream

Much of the post-match scrutiny has centered on Tuchel's tactical approach in the closing stages. As has happened before for England sides in similarly pressurized moments, the team appeared to retreat into a defensive posture rather than press their advantage. Substituting off goal-scorer Gordon for the more defensively-minded Ezri Konsa with under twenty minutes remaining, and shifting to a five-man backline, invited sustained Argentine pressure rather than relieving it.

Pep Guardiola's next destination may not be Italy after all. Fresh reports from the Netherlands claim the former Manchester City manager is open to taking charge of the Dutch national team.
