The Guardian FootballThe bigger picture: Tuchel gets blame for England exit but this is not only about him | Barney Ronay
German will be pilloried for his semi-final decisions but that is to ignore the fact English football culture is not set up to win major tournaments “I wanted it to be you. I wanted it to be you so badly.” As England’s World Cup hopes recede into another spell of heartache , let down in Atlanta by the latest handsome, cadaverous Mr Right, a little sadder, not much wiser, sunburnt, broke, eating Jägerbomb ice cream out of the tub with a spoon, this is a good moment to seek some classic New York romcom solace. Meg Ryan was right. Don’t be sad that it’s over. Be incredibly angry and frustrated on the radio that it happened at all. Continue reading...
The Guardian FootballRomero’s World Cup heroics for Argentina make him one of Messi’s most trusted
The mercurial performance at the back was a far cry from the gaffe-prone Spurs captain we have become accustomed to seeing As Cristian Romero readied to receive a pass 10 yards from his goalline, Jude Bellingham and Anthony Gordon sensed a mistake in the making. The center-back’s posture was not ideal after he took a scoot backwards to collect, facing the left sideline as his opponents lustily converged. He would only have half a second to settle a bouncing ball, shift his momentum, and find a passing lane in the rapidly closing seam between the England duo. Easier said than done on most days, but this particular Wednesday was not most days. First touch: ball settled. Second touch: right foot shunting the ball to his left. Third touch: left foot, ball coolly slotted to an awaiting Nahuel Molina. Continue reading...
The Guardian FootballArsène Wenger: US soccer development will depend on ‘consistency’ and ‘education’
Former Arsenal boss calls out US pay-to-play model Wenger says academy setups are vital for growth Arsène Wenger, Fifa’s head of global football development, has said that while the US faced numerous structural obstacles to becoming a real soccer power, many of those obstacles are being addressed by leadership at the US Soccer Federation and Major League Soccer. Speaking Thursday in a roundtable with US Soccer chief executive JT Batson and chief operating officer Dan Helfrich, Wenger heaped praise on the federation for its new $250m headquarters in Fayetteville, Georgia, saying “I feel it’s important for every footballer, somewhere, to feel you’re at home.” Continue reading...
The Guardian FootballPlayers ‘puzzled’ by tactics but Tuchel left himself no other option with his squad picks | Jacob Steinberg
The England head coach took a risk by selecting injury-prone players and ignoring creative options such as Phil Foden, Cole Palmer and Morgan Gibbs-White When Thomas Tuchel became England’s head coach he spoke repeatedly about wanting his side to adopt a Premier League style. He wanted intensity, pace, full-throttle football. Tuchel offered clarity, his analysis was precise and his squad for the World Cup was built around the idea of overwhelming opponents with physicality and relentless running. There were roles for specialists and places for individuals who could be trusted to bring the vibes. There were like-for-like alternatives in various positions and Tuchel was granted a lot of leeway. He was bold with his choices and could respond to questions about omitting the creativity of Phil Foden, Cole Palmer, Adam Wharton, Morgan Gibbs-White and Trent Alexander-Arnold by arguing that he had a vision and was going to stick to it.

The Guardian FootballFour passes in 19 minutes: damning numbers behind England’s collapse
No successful tackles after the 63rd minute and failure to break up play through fouls also played their part in World Cup semi-final defeat There will be coaching courses of the future that use footage of England’s performance against Argentina to illustrate how not to defend a one-goal lead. If that sounds harsh, the data from the match justifies that stance. Many ugly statistics emerged once the postmortem began. The most damning came from OptaJoe, who noted England had 12% possession in the 30 minutes between Anthony Gordon’s goal and Argentina’s equaliser. “That is the lowest by a team to be winning for at least 10 minutes in a World Cup match in the last 60 years,” they added.

The Guardian FootballArsenal close in on £34m deal for Club Brugge forward Christos Tzolis
Greece international replacement for Leandro Trossard Arsenal seek defensive cover after William Saliba injury Arsenal have agreed a deal worth up to €40m (£34m) with Club Brugge to sign Christos Tzolis as a replacement for Leandro Trossard and will step up their attempts to sign defensive cover due to concerns that William Saliba could miss the start of the new season due to his ongoing back issues. An official bid for Tzolis, a Greece international who scored 22 goals last season and was previously targeted by Crystal Palace, has yet to be submitted but it is understood that Arsenal have verbally agreed to pay the Belgian club’s asking price. The 24-year-old is expected to have his medical in the coming days and sign a long-term contract. The former Norwich forward, who usually plays on the left flank, will be a direct replacement for Trossard after his departure for Besiktas was confirmed this week for €18m (£15.3m).
