Argentine sports newspaper Ole were pretty critical of England manager Thomas Tuchel, giving him a 2/10 rating for tactics. They also noted that Tuchel’s defensive substitutions didn’t really have the impact he wanted them to- his subs’ player ratings were ordinary compared to Argentina’s bench players.
Ole liked both Messi and Alvarez upfront, and thought Man United’s Martinez and Spurs’ Romero did well. They were less complementary about Molina- especially his positioning for the Gordon goal.
