The World Cup semi-finals did not disappoint! Tunji and Mekus are back to dissect a week of high-octane drama and tactical disasters. We start with the heartbreaking exit of England, where we point the finger directly at Thomas Tuchel. From questionable substitutions that invited Argentina back into the game to a "Chelsea vs. City" defensive approach that backfired, we ask: Did England bottle their best chance at glory?
We then shift focus to Spain’s clinical masterclass against France. After holding the ball and "collecting France's lunch," Spain remains the only team yet to concede a goal in the tournament. We debate if France was too naive in midfield and why this Spanish side looks completely unstoppable heading into the final. Plus, we look ahead to the dream matchup: Argentina vs. Spain. Will Messi secure back-to-back world titles, or will Lamine Yamal and the Spanish Wall lift the trophy?
