I didnt see the game. Was Konate ****e?

[Catrin]

Konate starts for France for the 1st time this WC & they trail 4-0 at HT. How much of that is on him?

Not sure his kit will need washing as I don’t think he broke a sweat.

[baitman]

This is looking like the worst French defeat since Agincourt.

[Charly]

4 nil half time?


Ooooookay

I saw this about Superbowl style rings for the players and wasn't surprised. I then read about the additional 1996 rings which they will sell and thought someone was taking the piss

Madueke. Like, wtf was he thinking?

Yeah he’s ****e. Tuchel giving Madueke extended game time makes me believe in the ‘agent Tuchel’ rumours

[SB]

Madueke. Like, wtf was he thinking?

Yep that was a strange decision

[Charly]

Shoulda taken Curtis Jones

It's totally on Tuchel, they were so comfortable up until the goal and even before the subs. They have the squad with attacking quality on the pitch and off the bench and his first 3 subs were all defenders. The second the Argie subs happened and they start pushing, England went to pieces. Pure negative tactics and setup to see out the 1 nil.

He didn't put attackers on until the 96th minute which is an insult. England have been ****e to watch too, so much talent, so poor to watch. It is a poison chalice it seems but they had favorable fixtures going and then out like that was just unforgivable. I got the impression there is a bit of tension between the players and the manager even before the game.

This To be fair, also picking unfit players cost him ultimately, Saka and Reece James but also I do think Rice was burnt out also, will be interesting to how Arsenal cope at the start of the season. Obv he didn't trust some players but taking Hendo was the worst decision of them all, a Palmer, Gibbs, Foden would have been a better pick or taking Trent FFS

[Charly]

I mean,we were fine first half, until he changed things.

Swap him for Jurgen... oh... ****
