The way Jesse Marsch sent these guys out to play tonight was downright criminal. He gave them a 0% chance of success. Argentina have better players at all but one position, along with a far better bench. Trying to take them on toe to toe might be exciting to watch, but it will NEVER work against such a talented team.

Going toe to toe? Did you not notice that we didn’t high press literally at all? We stayed central, and had the three up front trying to block lanes and keep them to the outside. We didn’t try to go toe to toe, and I thought tactically we looked pretty good.
If we had a striker that could finish (or even make smart runs), that game could have been a draw. If I were any of those clubs rumoured to be looking at David, I would not be looking at him anymore after this tournament. He was shocking.
