Ashley Cole on Englandโ€™s World Cup semi-final elimination. ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ โ€œEngland have bottled it. Thereโ€™s no sugar-coating this. You donโ€™t spend years building one of the most talented squads in world football only to crumble the moment youโ€™re asked to show courage. They gifted Argentina belief and paid the ultimate price.โ€ โ€œThey went into their shell after taking the lead. Instead of finishing the game, they started protecting it like a small nation hanging on against a giant. That mentality is embarrassing for a team with Englandโ€™s quality. Champions kill gamesโ€”they donโ€™t hide from them.โ€ โ€œThe manager completely lost his nerve. His substitutions, his tactics, his message to the playersโ€”it all screamed fear. Sitting deeper and inviting Lionel Messi and Argentina onto you is football suicide. Everyone watching knew what was coming except the people on the England bench.โ€ โ€œAnd the players deserve criticism too. Too many disappeared. Too many hid instead of demanding the ball. When Argentina raised the intensity, England folded like a pack of cards. You cannot call yourself world-class if you vanish when your country needs you most.โ€ โ€œThis wasnโ€™t bad luck. This wasnโ€™t the referee. This wasnโ€™t fatigue. This was a complete collapse of mentality. England threw away a place in the World Cup final because they lacked the courage to keep playing football.โ€ โ€œIf youโ€™re satisfied with reaching the semi-finals, then keep making the same mistakes. But if you genuinely want to become world champions, performances like this should haunt every single person in that dressing room. They didnโ€™t lose to a better teamโ€”they lost to their own fear.โ€

Declan Rice on Englandโ€™s approach to facing Argentina and Lionel Messi in a potential World Cup semi-final. ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ โ€œLetโ€™s stop pretending everything Argentina do goes through Lionel Messi. If you let him dictate the game, youโ€™ve already made your first mistake. Our job is to make sure he doesnโ€™t get a second to breathe.โ€ โ€œPeople can talk about Argentinaโ€™s squad all they want, but when Messi isnโ€™t controlling the match, theyโ€™re a completely different team. Heโ€™s the engine, the creator and the player everyone looks for when the pressure is at its highest.โ€ โ€œWe arenโ€™t walking onto that pitch to admire him or watch another highlight reel. Weโ€™ll be in his face from the first whistle. Every touch will be contested, every pass will be pressured and every yard will have to be earned.โ€ โ€œThis is a World Cup semi-final, not a tribute to Lionel Messi. If he thinks heโ€™s going to stroll around and control the game, heโ€™s in for a shock. Weโ€™ll make it as uncomfortable as possible because thatโ€™s what winning demands.โ€ โ€œRespect is one thing, fear is another. We respect Messi because heโ€™s one of the greatest to ever play the game. But once that whistle goes, reputation means nothing. Weโ€™re there to beat Argentina, and if we stop their biggest threat, weโ€™ve given ourselves every chance of reaching the World Cup final.โ€

Joe Cole responds to Thomas Tuchelโ€™s comments after Englandโ€™s World Cup semi-final defeat to Argentina. ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ โ€œI donโ€™t want to hear excuses about facing strong teams. Everyone knew Argentina were the defending world champions before a ball was kicked. Thatโ€™s not an excuse that was the challenge. If you want to win the World Cup, you have to beat the best.โ€ โ€œYou scored first and then completely abandoned your identity. The moment England took the lead, they started playing with fear instead of belief. It was like watching a small team desperately hanging on instead of a nation trying to reach a World Cup final.โ€ โ€œYou donโ€™t score against Argentina and then spend the rest of the game camped inside your own penalty area. Thatโ€™s football suicide. You invited pressure, gave Lionel Messi more time on the ball and practically begged Argentina to come back into the match. Against the greatest player of his generation, thatโ€™s asking to be punished.โ€ โ€œThe tactical approach was shocking. Instead of going for the second goal and killing the game, England retreated deeper and deeper. Every substitution sent the same message: โ€˜Letโ€™s survive.โ€™ You donโ€™t survive against world champions you either finish them off or they finish you.โ€ โ€œDonโ€™t tell me England lost because Argentina were too good. England helped create their own downfall. This squad has enough quality to compete with anyone, but they were coached with fear instead of confidence.โ€ โ€œThe painful truth is England werenโ€™t beaten by talent alone they were beaten by a lack of courage. A World Cup final was within touching distance, and it slipped away because the manager chose to protect a one-goal lead instead of chasing history. Thatโ€™s a decision England will regret for years.โ€

Dimitar Berbatov on Kobbie Mainoo being left on the bench again for Englandโ€™s FIFA World Cup semi-final against Argentina. ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ โ€œI honestly cannot understand this anymore. Itโ€™s becoming embarrassing. If youโ€™re not prepared to trust Kobbie Mainoo with even one single minute at a World Cup, then why did you bring him in the first place? What exactly was the point? Heโ€™s spent the entire tournament watching football instead of playing it, and thatโ€™s a complete waste of one of Englandโ€™s brightest young talents.โ€ โ€œManagers always talk about believing in young players, but words mean absolutely nothing when your actions say the opposite. Mainoo has trained every day, stayed professional, waited patiently and still hasnโ€™t been rewarded with a single minute. Thatโ€™s incredibly harsh and, in my opinion, completely disrespectful to a player who has done nothing wrong.โ€ โ€œYou donโ€™t build confidence by making a player sit on the bench for an entire World Cup. You build confidence by trusting him when the team needs energy, composure and fresh ideas. Instead, England have treated one of their most gifted midfielders like he doesnโ€™t even exist.โ€ โ€œIf the coaching staff never believed he was capable of helping this team, then they should have left him at home and given his place to someone else. At least that player would have understood the situation. Taking Mainoo to the World Cup just to let him collect splinters on the bench is impossible to defend.โ€ โ€œAnd if England donโ€™t reach the final, donโ€™t be surprised when people start questioning every decision. Because leaving a midfielder with Kobbie Mainooโ€™s talent without a single appearance throughout the entire tournament is the kind of decision that follows a manager for years. Itโ€™s difficult to explain, impossible to justify and incredibly unfair on the player.โ€

Didier Deschamps responds to Lamine Yamal after comments suggesting Spain are better than France. ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ โ€œLamine is an exceptional talent, but he still has a lot to learn. In football, you donโ€™t prove youโ€™re better with microphones you prove it on the pitch. Respect is earned over years, not with a few comments after a good run.โ€ โ€œIf he believes Spain are better than France, then fantastic. Weโ€™ll settle that where it matters. France donโ€™t need to tell the world how good we areโ€”we let our football do the talking.โ€ โ€œI never tell my players to disrespect opponents because the game has a way of humbling you very quickly. The moment you start believing youโ€™ve already won, football reminds you that nothing is guaranteed.โ€ โ€œFrance have been competing at the highest level for years because we stay humble, work hard and respect every opponent. Thatโ€™s why weโ€™ve consistently been among the best national teams in the world.โ€ โ€œYoung players should enjoy themselves, but they should also understand that words create pressure. If you publicly claim youโ€™re better than France, then be prepared to back it up when the whistle blows.โ€ โ€œWeโ€™ll remember those comments. Now itโ€™s up to Spain to prove them. We donโ€™t fear anyone, and we certainly donโ€™t need lessons about greatness. Weโ€™ll answer in the only way that matters on the football pitch.โ€

Andrรฉs Iniesta on Luis de la Fuente benching Pedri against France in the FIFA World Cup semi-final. ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ โ€œIโ€™m honestly shocked. If your identity is keeping possession, controlling the tempo and making the opponent chase the ball, then how do you leave Pedri on the bench? It makes absolutely no footballing sense to me.โ€ โ€œPedri isnโ€™t just another midfielder heโ€™s the player who gives Spain rhythm, intelligence and control. You donโ€™t voluntarily weaken your greatest strength before a World Cup semi-final. Thatโ€™s an enormous mistake.โ€ โ€œFrance thrive when games become physical and chaotic. The one player who can slow everything down, keep the ball and make France suffer without possession is sitting on the bench. I simply cannot understand that decision.โ€ โ€œYou donโ€™t play a World Cup semi-final hoping to fix things later with substitutions. You start with your best footballers. Pedri should be the heartbeat of this team from the first whistle, not watching the game from the sidelines.โ€ โ€œIf Spain lose the midfield battle tonight, the manager will have serious questions to answer. You cannot preach possession football and then leave one of the best possession players in world football out of your starting XI. Thatโ€™s a contradiction.โ€ โ€œI hope Spain prove me wrong because I want my country to win, but this is one of those decisions that can define a coachโ€™s career. In football, the biggest mistakes are often made before the match even kicks off and this feels like one of them.โ€
