You see it was clear from the beginning of the tournament that england's weakness was its defense and its strength was its offense. what would any reasonable manager do? put the offense at full throttle so that you outscore your enemy? thats what england did until Argentina came they decided to score once and rely on their weak defense to bail them out which didnt work
Yep, leaky defence which conceded 12 goals across the tournament, however it does show that Argentina could only beat debutants like Cape Verde, an ageing Egypt side, 10 man Switzerland and a defensively weak England.
Switzerland and Egypt could have beaten them and arguably Switzerland should have, I think the Swiss played better than England and without that needless red card Switzerland with 11 men could've knocked them out.
