I watched the game from Chile. Some of us don't like Argentina national team, but we know our neighbours: you can't give them an extra life, and that's exactly what Tuchel did. After the second Enzo's shot from outside the box (saved by Pickford), we knew exactly what was going to happen.
This made previous tournaments look heroic..... There's no shame in losing to the world champions. There is shame in losing like that. We gifted it to them. We were the worst team they had faced.... We didn't just lose the game, we blew it like amateurs.
I have never seen such consistent and unanimous assessment of a coaching performance by analysts, fans and media. It was so incredibly obvious what the errors were in the second half management. Frankly these were indefensible decisions that will haunt him for the rest of his coaching career.
