The head coach of the England team shared his plans for the game against the title champions, assessed the phenomenon of the Argentine captain and learned how the team will continue to make good progress in the tournament.

The British team is preparing for a highly principled final confrontation against Argentina. If you survive this match, which will take place at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, you will get your ticket to the finals and join the Spanish team.

Lionel Messi is no longer a headache for the English. The Argentinean, who shares with Kilian Mbappe the lead in the tournament's scorers (8 goals each), having set an absolute world championship record - 21 goals scored in his career. Three Lions head coach Thomas Tuchel admitted that he is seriously considering the option of tough, old-fashioned personal marking against the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner.

" . When you analyze matches, you realize that it’s important to speak earlier, even if someone else is on the field,” Tuchel said at the pre-match press conference.

The coach, highly appreciating the achievement of the Messiah, finds ample scope for the greatest protection:.

The ball falls to a new one, finds a clearing, makes a place for the left foot, and then implements the decision on the highest level. This is your superpower. If we close off one strong side in our game, we can find or create a new one,” respected the German Fahivet.

Given the rich and often scandalous political and sporting history of the struggle between England and Argentina, Tuchel was inspired to promote this as additional motivation for his players.

" We respect our rival, but we are not buried in historical ideas and are not afraid of their larger ones, but the stink is real. “We are at the finals and are arriving even more hungry for victory,” the mentor said..

As soon as the warehouse is ready, all the teams are ready to start. There are only two players to blame: Jordan Henderson (broken arm). Jarell Kwansa (disqualified).

England's path to the semi-final was extremely important: a dramatic victory over DR Congo (2:1), a battle with Mexico (3:2) at the famous Azteca Stadium and a rewarding overtime against Norway in the spectacular Miami (2:1).

" We had a chance to ride the roller coaster. It’s only a little bit of hope, but then suddenly I can’t live and feel like I’m alive,” describing Tuchel’s tournament run.

To feed journalists about those who, as a coach, know the time to fix such a crazy schedule, the German fahavet quips with humor:.

“Sometimes you’re just riding a bike, you need a lot of parking and it’s freezing in the street for 15 minutes - and you feel like a 15-year-old, not a 50-year-old. You enjoy the warm summer evening. “Everything you need is here,” summed up Thomas.

Guess what, it became known earlier that an American referee will judge the 2026 emergency final between England and Argentina.
