Thierry Henry Analyzes England's Loss to Argentina

Thierry Henry provided an analysis of England's 2-1 defeat to Argentina in the semifinals of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which took place in the United States. England, managed by Thomas Tuchel, initially took the lead with a goal from Anthony Gordon shortly after the interval.

However, Tuchel's decision to adopt a defensive strategy proved detrimental. Henry criticized Tuchel for abandoning attacking substitutions after England's lead, which allowed Argentina to apply relentless pressure.

Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez equalized for Argentina, and Lautaro Martinez scored the winning goal in the final moments of the match. Henry remarked on the premature shift to a defensive formation, stating that it was not easy to regain control after going back to five defenders.

He emphasized that England's tactical choices contributed to their inability to break a 60-year World Cup drought and reach their first final since 1966.
