    Interesting post, Steff. Who would you pick to replace Tuchel? I don't think sacking him would be unreasonable given the magnitude of the mistake. I've been quite critical of Kane, and Bellingham had a quiet game too. That doesn't change the fact that both were excellent leading up to this...

    Scaloni has reached 4 consecutive finals. That’s some record in any era.

    World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

    Like most tournaments with England, I feel we “could” win rather than “should”. There’s always 4-5 teams at every tournament who are capable of winning it. We were one of them as we were in 2006, 2018 and 2024. We have a tendency in this country to massively overrate our players and forget that...

    World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

    I'd agree the team doesn't always help him, and I'd also agree the manager was largely to blame last night. That being said, Kane is considered a world-class player. World-class players are expected to drag their team over the line every now and then. If he consistently doesn't produce in the...

    World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

    Isn't that partly on the team as well for not keeping possession of the ball? I'll ask you the same question I asked Bedford: do you think Kane has done enough in England's semi-finals and finals throughout his career? Football is a team game, so I don't expect him to do it all on his own. But...

    What difference does it make about the changes? He still had to create chances through a packed defence.

    He created opportunities in the second half. Cant remember who but one of their players missed a header. There was another one that he created that was headed back across goal that John Stones cleared to safety. I know you like Kane, I do too. And I know we want to be protective of him as a...

    Ironically the big games often used to pass Messi by too, for Argentina anyway. For example he was largely ineffective in the 2014 World Cup final and looked almost disinterested. I think the 2016 loss in the Copa America lit a fire under him and the Argentina fans realised they’d gone to far in...

    World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

    In a vacuum it may seem unfair to single out Kane. I blame Tuchel primarily. But Kane has had a series of no shows in semis and finals for England. Also accept that Messi has his nightclub bouncers around him to do the dirty work. But Kane is good enough and influential enough to have more of an...

    World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

    Other top players step up big moments, not just Messi. I mentioned Drogba who always turned up in finals. Mbappe has dragged France to penalty shootouts when there were on the verge of crashing out. He’s compared to Mbappe, Lewandowski and Haaland, it’s fair to expect him to influence the big...

    World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

    He was influential in his dribbling and range of passing. He created 2-3 good opportunities before they even scored. And he’s carried them before in numerous tournaments, including semis and finals. I’m expecting anyone to do it in every game, but it would be nice if Kane did it just once in a...

    World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

    I didn’t say it was solely his fault. And he certainly wasn’t helped by Tuchel’s tactics in the second half. But he’s one of our best players, he has to take some responsibility. Look at Messi, he didn’t score but he was involved in pretty much every chance they created. He realised they were in...

    Enjoyed the Spence redemption story again tonight. Messi was a joy to watch. Once again, if you were to compare him and Ronaldo to musical styles, Messi is classical and Ronaldo is heavy metal.

    Ok I didn’t know that. Never turned up in semi or a final for England though.

    He’s never turned up in a semi final or a final. He got hauled off in the euros semi final 2 years ago and his replacement scored the winner.

    World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

    It was a good pass. Rogers pass was the key one though. And that was Kane’s only contribution of note. He’s not a big game player unfortunately like Messi or even Didier Drogba.

    World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

    Yet another semi-final has come and gone, and once again Kane hasn't turned up. The game just seems to pass him by when it matters most. People will say England didn't attack or create enough, but Kane is supposed to be one of our creative players. He's the closest thing we have to a technical...

    Maybe. I still don’t think Gabriel Clarke needed to mention it to Bellingham. He was channeling his inner Geoff Shreeves. I have no issue with Tuchel’s interview or Bellingham’s reaction. Tuchel is a winner and was brought in partly to not be content with reaching semi finals.

    Gabriel Clarke was definitely brick stirring. What’s Bellingham meant to say after running around for 120 minutes in a million degrees heat and humidity and scoring 2 goals only to hear his manager isn’t happy with the performance?!

    Wonder who will have more fans at the game tomorrow. Both teams have fans that travel well. Argentina could play at the top of Mount Everest and still take 50,000 fans.
