    England 1-2 Argentina

    I made the mistake of making plans in my head about where I'd be watching Sunday's final and that quickly came back to haunt me.

    Everything happened so quickly and so disappointingly - I don't think [Tuchel] needs to be regretful about the tournament, but I think he must be very frustrated that he went into defensive mode when Dan Burn came on.

    Do you blame individuals? I don't know, and I can talk from experience, the question would be did the players that came on know what they were supposed to do for the corner? It's little things like that.

    Like a plaster, it was ripped off quick and we didn't have to endure the extra time and penalties.

    Gareth Southgate led England to their first World Cup semi-final in 28 years in 2018 after being appointed, initially on temporary terms, two years previously.

    He then gave England fans their first major tournament final in almost six decades when the Three Lions fell short against Italy at Wembley at Euro 2020.

    At Qatar 2022, Southgate's England fell short at the quarter-final stage against finalists France.

    England came agonisingly close again at Euro 2024, losing 2-1 to Spain in the final, and Southgate resigned two days later.

  4. England's lack of possessionpublished at 09:22 BST

    A startling stat doing the rounds this morning...

    England only had 12% possession between Anthony Gordon's goal in the 55th minute and Lautaro Martinez's winner in the 92nd minute.

  5. The FA backs Tuchel - but is he the right man?published at 09:18 BST

    England 1-2 Argentina

    England head coach Thomas Tuchel has retained the backing of the FA despite last night's disappointing loss to Argentina.

    The German is expected to lead England at Euro 2028 but is he the right man?

    We'll be taking a look at some past managers and how long they were given at the helm.

    As an Englishman living abroad, I've realised no other country's media or fans place such expectations on their national team as England's. Argentina changed the game, dominated possession, denied England time on the ball and relentlessly pinned them back. The focus should be on Argentina's control, not England sitting deep.

    Just away from England for a moment but it's quite incredible that both World Cup finalists couldn't beat Cape Verde in 90 minutes.

    I think we know who the real winners are here.

    Positives for me are so many that played well are still so young and have many more tournaments together. Bellingham and Anderson with particular mention. And then Spence, berated by Tuchel, in and out of the team, but was unbelievable last night.

    We played really well this year. Some games weren’t our best, but the matches with Croatia, Mexico and Norway were brilliant to watch and gave us all a sense it could come home. Time to relook at our strategies and go all out for the Euros.

  11. Top tips for beating bad mental health after a football losspublished at 09:00 BST

    England 1-2 Argentina

    Imogen James
    Live reporter

    When it comes to your football team losing, "feelings of disappointment, frustration and deflation are completely valid", Hayley Jarvis, head of physical activity from mental health charity Mind, says.

    She has offered up some tips for helping your mental health in the face of disappointment:

    • It's OK to be disappointed. Try to notice and acknowledge these feelings. Check in on others about how they are feeling too
    • Remember, players are people with feelings too – defeat can often highlight hateful messages. Racism and abuse are never acceptable
    • Reframe the disappointment by focusing on the moments of excitement, the conversations, the atmosphere, and the time spent with others
    • If post-match debate, criticism, and endless analysis are getting to you, try taking a break from social media
    • When a tournament ends, it can leave a gap in your routine. Planning something enjoyable – meeting friends, getting outdoors, following your local club, or looking ahead to the new season – can help shift your focus towards what you can control

    We reached the last four, were competitive against the reigning champions, and lost to a wonder-goal. Should all be proud of how the team did. Remember where we were ten years ago against Iceland? England fans have short memories...

    Zonks, Woking

    The England Women's team won competitions because of playing their 'finishers', not by shutting up shop. Maybe a leaf needs to be taken from their book?

    Alex Booth says it was a stressful watch but that he's proud of the team

    Alex Booth, from Northwich, Cheshire, says it was a stressful watch but "I'm so proud of England".

    "What happens, happens but we have got to be proud," he says.

    The sense of pride in the team also remains for Susan Jenkins, who watched the game with her family and friends.

    "We're proud of them. We really are," she says.

    Pauline Calderhead, who watched with her son and her friends, says she was "absolutely gutted" and "really sad", following England's late defeat.

    I know it's tough to think positively right now but do England have anything positive to take from the World Cup?

    The Three Lions could end up finishing third but is that good enough?

    What about the performances from the likes of Jude Bellingham and Djed Spence?

  15. Romero labels Neville 'stupid' over criticismpublished at 08:41 BST

    Paul Battison
    BBC Sport journalist

    Argentina defender Cristian Romero says Gary Neville was "stupid" to criticise his centre-back partnership with Lisandro Martinez.

    In the build-up to Argentina's 2-1 World Cup semi-final win over England, former Man Utd defender described Romero and Martinez as "the best, worst centre-half pairing in the world".

    "The only thing that I hope for is that when I retire, I am not that stupid. Hopefully I won't criticise a player or anyone," Tottenham defender Romero told DSports when he was asked about Neville's punditry comments.

    "Because at the end of the day, we are doing our best for our national team. Sometimes it goes right for us, sometimes badly, but we are just happy to be in a World Cup final again.

    "I think we are making history, for us it is something really huge, and we feel the significance of this shirt like no-one else."

    Man Utd defender Martinez had his own say, explaining: "We're used to people always talking about us. It seems like they like doing it, and we respond on the pitch, that's it, always with respect."
