the emerging consensus on England and Tuchel, that he made horribly defensive substitutions and threw away the game, is completely wrong. I honestly think it's because most (maybe all) English/British pundits want to blame Tuchel as an outsider rather than face up to how the game actually played out. the entirety of the game after Gordon's goal was dominated by Argentina. but note the first substitution was 17 minutes later on 72 minutes and the *really* defensive ones were on 82 minutes. in the 17 minutes before the first sub, Argentina could and arguably should have scored 3 times. in the 10 minutes before the next, they could and should have scored twice more. in that interval, England did absolutely nothing. they had already given up. they strung virtually zero passes together and I don't think touched the ball in the opposition half (never mind box). I think that Tuchel realized this (because he is an excellent coach) and *correctly* concluded they needed to shore up or Argentina would indeed score 3 or more before long. one idea I've seen is Tuchel should have thrown on the likes of Rashford and Watkins (who are fast, basically) to better press from the front and give England a route to play out. but imagine he had done this, England became *even more pathetically open* and Argentina had won 4-1. the criticism would have been even worse than now, and would have called for *exactly what he did*. so, no, he did what he had to do as he watched his team completely collapse for no reason. and *it could have worked*! after the second set of subs, Argentina had one very long-distance shot and the two goals. but the two goals were a result of astoundingly lazy lack of pressing, not tactics. the chances before were getting sliced apart in open play. the chances after were pathetic individual discipline. so, no, the substitutions did not throw away the game and Tuchel did not get it wrong. England epically shat the bed, should have ended up losing 4-1, and Tuchel attempted the only viable route to holding on and still winning. it is no way his fault that Bellingham couldn't be bothered closing down Fernandez and Spence couldn't be bothered closing down Messi, amongst the other 5 goals they could have conceded after giving up. English pundits want somebody to blame, so they blame Tuchel (who conveniently isn't English). what they ought to do is face up to this being one of the most astonishing psychological capitulations in World Cup history.

When you see Putin in a bunker with Gerasimov, that's the real Putin. From yesterday, he looks like the walking dead. Skinny, frail, afraid, not the jovial, high energy one, with the bowling ball head. Rarely do we see the real one these days.

Air conditioning should not be treated as a normal answer to every hot day. It is an emergency tool that has been turned into a lifestyle. If we cannot function without machines cooling every room, then we have failed at housing, planning and climate responsibility.
