Late Argentina Comeback Crushes England’s World Cup Dream
England took the lead through Anthony Gordon’s first-half goal but then sat back, inviting pressure from Argentina. In a stunning turnaround, Enzo Fernández and Lautaro Martínez scored in the final minutes, both set up by Lionel Messi, to seal a 2-1 win and send Argentina through to the final. Critics wasted no time online, branding Thomas Tuchel’s decision to swap attackers for defenders after going ahead as ‘cowardly.’ Fans pointed out that Argentina’s centre-backs were both on yellow cards, yet England still parked the bus and paid the price. With this victory, Argentina extend their unbeaten semi-final record to six straight wins and will face Spain in the final. England, meanwhile, must regroup and answer tough questions over tactics and game management.
