Tuchel Takes Blame for England's World Cup Exit

Thomas Tuchel accepted full responsibility for England's World Cup exit after his substitutions backfired in a dramatic 2-1 defeat to Argentina.

England looked set to reach their first men's World Cup final on foreign soil when Anthony Gordon gave them the lead early in the second half. However, reigning champions Argentina equalized through Enzo Fernández before substitute Lautaro Martínez scored the decisive goal in second-minute injury time to send Argentina through to Sunday's final against Spain in New York. sport-newz.biz

Tuchel, who had no regrets about his tactical decisions, acknowledged that he would be judged for his substitutions that contributed to England becoming too passive after taking the lead. The England head coach's World Cup campaign came to an end as Argentina secured their place in the final with a dramatic late comeback.
