39. Sure this is it

England getting knocked out last night was entertaining.

Very entertaining.

You know, like, I kind of wanted them to get far enough so then you could see them, like, lose at, like, a semi-final stage.

But...

It's weird after, because, like...

You know, we all, a lot of people in Ireland support, it's weird, like, we all support, like, English teams and stuff, like, a lot of us anyway.

But, like, then everyone just wants to see them lose.

But I heard, like, even you hear the pundits after, like, there's a lot of talk about...

this isn't going to be a football podcast but because England getting better is obviously the chat right now everyone seems to be delighted everyone's delighted really but all the English pundits are like saying that Tuchel brought on all the defenders and sat back and invited on the pressure and that was exactly what Argentina wanted and that's why they lost and they just keep all these takes that's basically basically they're saying it was as simple as that We brought on too many defenders.

We took off Gordon, attacking player on the wing and invited too much pressure and Argentina picked him off.

But I'm just thinking like, that's all here, that's all English media.

But this is the thing about English media, that's why a lot of people don't like them is because they were there saying they're definitely the better team and all this.

I was like, he's got bet by the world champions and he's got destroyed in the second half.

And they're saying, oh, it's because they've brought on all the defenders.

I was just thinking, like, what about actually he's weren't a better team and Argentina were actually just better than us? Like, because you always have in your head that these English players are class, but like Argentina destroyed them.

Like, what about it's as simple as it's not all Tuchel's fault.

He's actually just weren't good enough.

Because if the players on the pitch that were playing for England, if they were so good, it shouldn't have mattered.

Do you know what I mean? I know he brought on defenders, but they still would have won.

Argentina found ways to win against Egypt and all the other games that the players were struggling.

I know people said they got a few decisions going their way, but they still found a way to win.

England didn't.

They just make it out as if...

It was as simple as, Sherlock, we didn't, it was simple as if he didn't take out, if he didn't bring all the defenders and we stayed attacking, we would have won.

Like, he couldn't get the ball, lads.
