How could they do this? Müller reveals why England was overturned by Argentina and knocked out of the World Cup.
"Müller" expressed disbelief! England allowed Argentina to deliver continuous crosses before being overturned 1-2 and missing out on the 2026 World Cup final.
Thomas Müller, former Bayern Munich forward, criticized the tactics of the England national team under coach Thomas Tuchel after they switched to a defensive approach while leading 1-0, allowing the opponent to launch repeated crosses and ultimately lose 1-2 to Argentina in the 2026 World Cup semi-finals in a heartbreaking defeat.
In that match, England took a 1-0 lead through Anthony Gordon in the 55th minute before Lionel Messi provided two assists to Enzo Fernández and Lautaro Martínez, who each scored to help Argentina come from behind and win 2-1.
Müller said, "First of all, I want to praise Argentina for playing exceptionally well. I really can't believe or understand England's approach, especially after they took the lead."
"I don't understand why they allowed Argentina to deliver so many perfect crosses like that, but anyway," Müller added.
For the 2026 World Cup final, Argentina will face Spain on Sunday, 19 July at 02:00 Thailand time, while England will contest third place against France on Saturday.
