How Tuchel's tactics cost England the World Cup

Matt Forde is alongside 1998 World Cup winner Emmanuel Petit and comedian Alex Brooker to discuss England's defeat to Argentina in the semi final of the World Cup. All three are in agreement that the blame should be attributed to Thomas Tuchel after he inexplicably decided to defend against the World Champions for the final 30 minutes of the game and allowed Lionel Messi to work his magic. We ask what is next for the German following the defeat and if he should stick around? Could Pep Guardiola be an option to replace him after he left Man City earlier this year? Emmanuel tells us how France is feeling following their shock defeat to Spain in the other semi final. And we look ahead to Sunday's final and discuss the influence of Spain's talismanic captain Rodri who looks back to his sublime best.
