It can work if your team is really organized at the back and the opposite team doesn't have a ton to offer in the attack.
Problem is, English defenders were giving a FUCKLOAD of space for Argentina to move passes/balls into and Argentina is not a team you can absorb pressure from for fucking 20+ minutes. 10? Maybe. But 20+ is such a retarded ass choice and shows why Tuchel sucks.
This is the most problematic World Cup ever. The final two matches will be two colonizers (Spain and France) vs their colonies (Argentina and England).
