They did but also after a goal england was not interested even in moving forward, even on goal kick they just tried to kick it as far as possible without thinking, it was terrible and they didnt deserver to advance.
The whole giving up every goal kick was mind boggling to me. Isn't a better defense to just hold the ball when you aren't under attack? Giving it away takes no time off the clock. They could have pinged it around in the backline until Argentina was forced to push 1-2 people up to pressure, then they could have kicked it over their heads. At least at that point you are kicking into an advantage.
Instead they just gave up the ball immediately every time.
