Just to get back to the footy, game of the competition so far Egypt v Argentina, unbelievable comeback and a wonder goal by Messi. Egypt should have kept pushing forward IMO and it’s understandable their frustration about no review on the McAllister challenge prior to that winning goal but hey maybe Trump wants Messi in the final.
Trump?
Living rent free in your head is he?
Was it his fault the Argies were gifted the last one too?Joke alcy, btw can you do the Trump dance? Belgians were rather good at it after the fourth goal.

So… Will Infantino’s FIFA allow England to beat Argentina?

I doubt it and fully expect some controversy / bias VAR calls , red cards etc in this one .. FIFA dont want an all European final and going back to the Eygpt debacle it appears Fanny has a hard on for Messi n Co.

That’s 2 world cup semi finals out of 3 and 2 successive Euro finals. While we have had our fortune, few teams don’t when reaching this stage, and that consistent level of progression in tournaments shows we have something. Under 2 different managers now, so it cannot be put down to just the manager.
We missed Rice when he came off, but it all worked out. No yellows for him and Bellingham. I was worried about that, but I felt the ref did a good job in letting the game flow and all major decisions were correct.

One instruction that I hope Tuchel has drummed into the players:-
DO NOT give the ref any excuse to give you a red card.1 user thanked author for this post.
VAR will be under orders to review every English tackle to see if they can spin a red card out of it.
Argies will need to be at least a yard offside and England will need to be at least a yard onside.
Infantino hates Europe who give him no votes and lots of criticism. The Trump incident proves he will manipulate the integrity of football to suit his own ends.
Two European teams in the final is his worst nightmare. Trump won’t be too keen either, particularly his 2 least favourite European countries.

It’s just an opinion Deery. Remember just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you.

Was Butler the England manager, score then sit back and go 5 at the back.
Best side won by the way.1 user thanked author for this post.
Tuchel has been tactically excellent till the last 30 minutes of this match after we got in front, then he got it wrong and Argentina deserved to win based on that second half.

To frightened to lose by not trying to win.

Well the best team won.
Allegedly Tuchel panicked and got on the phone to Gareth after Gordon scored.
What should I do Gareth when you go 1 up in a big game? Obvious Thomas take off your most dangerous player and bet out ball. Replace him with a pedestrian centre back.
5 at the back is the way to win this. Only 35 minutes to hang on. Don’t take my word for it. Andy Butler agrees. 5-4-1 is the formation that wins games.

Good to see England using the tried and tested Scunthorpe United tactics!

Aye, that was us all over wasn’t it. Tuchel got that wrong. Gamble that backfired. C’est la vie. Were they Scunthorpe in disguise? Tonight it seemed so.
