'We were ALL shouting "GET OUT"' - How England went too deep vs. Argentina
What a missed opportunity.Yep.Frustrating, angry, disappointed.Once England broke the deadlock, went 1 -0 up, everything was fine, everything was comfortable, and for some inexplicable reason, they dropped.And they dropped and they kept on dropping until they defended the six -yard box.It wasn't even the penalty box, it was the six -yard box at times.
You're screaming, we're all screaming, Argentinian, France, Scotland, get out!Get out, because as ex -footballers, you're looking at it going, Argentina are going to score now, they're going to score now.They hit the post twice with Alexis McAllister, yet they still did not get out of the penalty area and try and get up the pitch.I don't know why they did it.whether it was instructions off the side, which I don't think it was, because the manager would have hated that, I'm almost certain of it.I don't know whether it was just fatigue, tiredness, mental tiredness, thinking we're 1 -0 up, let's just forget everything that we've done in the game and just defend our goal.
But that was the reason why they lost the game and they'll be so, those players will be so frustrated, gutted like we all are, like well certainly I am, watching that performance because as you said once they went 1 -0 up it was an even game, they had it in their hands and for some reason they let Argentina back into the game.
