The story so far

Argentina secured a 2-1 victory over England in the World Cup semifinals, featuring a late comeback led by Lionel Messi. Following the match, Messi dedicated the win to Diego Maradona and received the Man of the Match award from a former Barcelona star.

Coverage from the BBC, Al Jazeera, and NBC News emphasizes Messi's performance, while English media and outlets like The Irish Times describe the defeat as "pure football cowardice." ESPN's Gary Neville specifically suggested that coach Thomas Tuchel should have substituted Harry Kane. Attention now turns to Thomas Tuchel's future.

While The New York Times questions if he should stay or go, The Guardian reports that Tuchel is "100%" invested in leading England at Euro 2028.
