It's so nice to know that the drop goal is still a weapon in international rugby IF used correctly. This was a masterclass, indeed. Well done, George Ford. 🏉
There lies the problem. If England win matches with several drop goals, too often; the governing body will change the rules on how many can be kicked in a game. Anyone else winning matches this way, no problem.
Ford played a blinder there, but England shouldn't rely on playing that way all the time. They need to use the backs more and keep teams guessing as to what they are going to do. That said, If Ford keeps this level of consistency going, I think they have a real chance of staying in the big games if they get to the later stages. maybe he's the new Johnny W?
Incredibly disappointing? Who wants to see a penalty festival? If I wanted to watch people kick a ball, I'd watch football. The card games in Rugby are making it an awfully soft game.
Well done, England! The competition is better when you guys are competing and creating excitement for your fans - genuinely happy for you. Especially since that red was a bullshit outcome for a clearly difficult situation (player landing after jumping isn’t really considered a mitigating factor but it should be). As a South African I was supporting Argentina all the way, but that’ll wait till next week. For now, it’s good to have you back in it, England!
'player landing after jumping isn’t really considered a mitigating factor but it should be' - funny you should say that because I looked it up and 'The ball-carrier suddenly drops in height (e.g. trips/falls, dives to score)' this seems to kind of cover it, I mean the ball carrier definitely drops from height. The more I watch players jumping for the ball the more recklessness I see - mainly from the person doing the jumping...

Cricket and Tennis get more publicity here than the rugby does, anyone here who doesn't follow the sport probably has no idea the world cup is even on.....
@pacman4568 you are obviously clueless about rugby as playing a man down for the whole game makes it almost impossible to attack regularly.The new rules are killing the gang as a contest.
Preposterous red card for Curry. Has the referee ever heard of the word "accident"? These new disciplinary/safety rules are in danger of killing the game.what next? Speed limits for tackles? Padding? We also have too much referee-domination of games and rules half the spectators don 't undrtstand. That said: I thought Ford was spectacular.
I’m gonna say it…. George Ford would not have been able to kick those drop goals if Ben Youngs was playing. Mitchell has the sharpness and speed of pass to allow that time on the ball. Him and Ford must start all games!!!
A red? 😂 Stop it! Hats off to England for managing to eek out an ugly win, but whats the point in playing rugby if that's a straight red offence? May as well field a team of 5 footers at this rate to avoid any risk of head contact. I'm all for player safety but what on earth is curry supposed to do differently there, without letting the man jump right past him?
couldn't agree more. If that's a red in rugby then what's a punch to the face - lifetime ban?! Curry is a clean, fearless player - the rules need to also protect players like him. In this case, a player jumping and landing should be a mitigating factor. If Curry went in low he might get a boot in the eyes or a knee in the head
@@moggie269 Curry only made contact once the player had landed. His technique could've been better (hence yellow) but a RED implies zero mitigation, which doesn't make sense, as the fact that the player was landing from air should be mitigation (as this makes it hard for a tackler to judge)
@@smartalecc Judging on the replay that I can see in the highlights, the player landed ON Curry. But maybe it's just a bad angle. My point remains: to prevent any card, Curry could have waited and, more importantly, just go lower...
ESPECIALLY as the Chilli player has not been upgraded. Truly disgusting treatment of the English players and they have a genuine case of prejudice against them.
Forget the result - England you played with passion today, there was intensity, there was conviction, there was accuracy, there was fitness - far more than the warm ups. That’s what the fans want to see, the win is a joy but the effort was what won me over. Imagine what we can do if we can play with a full squad for a game or two - maybe even a first choice squad! Love the RWC! Another huge day tomorrow!
Emergence of new style of play in Rugby. Drop goals will be the main weapon for those team with inferior physical size or when they're down with one or two men. Give enough distance from ruck and have 2 kickers, 1 main and 1 backup kicker - can rip any team apart. Slow but a sure way to win a game.. keep adding up those small points
Can’t deny that when England went down to 14 I was worried “Never a red by the way” but what a great performance not only by George but the whole team. Their strength and “thou’ll not pass” attitude was 1st class… Remember, Argentina have been very good of late… Congratulations England, happy for Stephen Borthwick as he’s been under pressure….. Hopefully the start of good things….
I reckon that was such a cool way to win. Well done England from an All black supporter. Ironically Hugo Porter won a few test matches for Argentina in similar fashion.
One of the best England performances I have seen in years! For the Aussies moaning about our kicking game, the guys played with the cards that they were dealt(a very dubious red card). Discipline was amazing, and everyone defended to the hilt. Well done lads!

Funny how people were complaining about Ford making the English WC team. They said he was too old, past his prime, etc... Ford shows the critics that he is still the great player he is, what a masterclass!
Don't think neither England nor the ABs are going to the final this year mate. I'm Aussie and would love to see the ABs there this year, wallabies no shot imo. But the recent ABs just aren't the dominant team
After the red card, I was about to switch off my TV because England will not be able to win the game with 14 players. But the English forwards were a class of its own. Thanks for a great performance George.
It was an unintentional clash of heads. I would like to see a warning and yellow given for first time offense. If the offense is repeated follow it up with a red. An intentional head butt obviously warrants a straight red.
Exactly. It's rugby, for crying out loud. Head clashes are going to happen whether you like it or not. The question is whether there was any intent or recklessness involved. In this case, there wasn't. Slightly mistimed perhaps. Warranting a yellow perhaps. But a 'retrospective' red? Ridiculous decision imo.
@TomUK7h Yes, a spot‐on analysis of what is wrong with the refereeing of accidental/unintentional head collisions at the current time. Fortunately, England responded with great character and dug themselves out of a hole to record a famous win.
@@Trollcoyb Players are dying in their early 50's... That's what has been happening to the game. Before the 2000's most players used to look like you and me.... like me at last :) (but waaaaaay better). Nowadays, it is a different game where Lomu wouldn't look so out this world.
@@monkey.360 by the modern day letter of the law, you could possibly make an argument, but from just the eye test even in slow motion, my brain still can’t accept how that is considered a red. Where Carrera knows exactly what he’s doing and he’s going in with intent to just get one on Ford however with no control of his body? To me curry’s just look like he’s waiting for the bloke to come down and catch him. Just looked like an unfortunate rugby incident with the clash of heads?
As an argie. I got to say that the red card on the English pkayer was unjust. Anyways england deserved the win and Argentina just didn't seem to be on field. It was just not the day. Kudos to you all
As an Argentine, with sportsmanship and respect I congratulate the English team. On the other hand, I comment with pain that the poor and bad performance of the Argentine team only shows the socioeconomic debacle that Argentine society is suffering due to the deplorable government that we have in the last decades, which affects our rugby players.
Take a page out of the South African playbook... sports teams must rise above the mess the politicians create in the country and play their hearts and souls out for their nation. They are the beacon the people need to never give up, to stand together and fight the powers that be. Chin up, good luck on your next game!🇿🇦

Not a single try for England but George Ford carried the day for them. This is a dream start for the English especially considering how poor their form was before the world cup.
It was a genius performance. One man down you aren’t gonna win with attacking rugby, so Ford played the perfect game. If you knew a bit more you’d have clocked this earlier!
Rugby as this game proves is about more than scoring tries, its about developing a strategy to win, on the hoof, when your main game plan goes out of the window after 3mins. On that basis this was a Rugby masterclass.
As a proud Argie I must admit that we played way too much defense and the English got the best of us!!!! Congrats to the English yet this WC is far from over!!!
brilliant from Ford ..I love the intelligence and pragmatism ... dificult to score with 14 men ..obviously going to be a low scoring game .. go for the drop goal! but it takes SO much skill ! you dont see Dan Biggar attempting many ! (from a welsh fan) and the second one went over from half way with some metres to spare ! irrespective of nationality ..rugby intelligence combined with total confidence is good to see , Ford showed it in abundance !
England showed an absolute masterclass in how to control a fame with 14 men. Argentina were woeful in their decision making and basic rugby skills. Red and yellow cards, who knows, seems a pretty grey area but I do like the how they investigate these things now while the game gets a chance to keep going
yeah, it was a bad game for us. England deserved the win, but showed a lot weaker than usual. It looked like the Pumas didn't even feel like playing today.
The ref did England a massive favour because after Curry got sent off England had 16 players working in their favour- 15 of them were Argentinian and the other was George Ford.
Reminds me of when Daly was sent off early against Argentina during Eddie Jones"s tenure. Displayed similar grit and determination on both occasions, not to mention superior game management.
It’s been like this for the last 3 World Cup cycles. Every first-tier nations’ coaching team has a coach with Australian Football League credentials that’s how the kicking and catching game’s taken seriously.
Reminds of the 2015 Springbok squad. A good team, but they could score tries against NZ, just kept up with penalties. That was a team who ran into problems with this type of approach, couldn’t execute a good game plan and resigned themselves to going for posts (from a Springbok fan)
An Argie here: sincerest congrats England! As I have been posting all over the place for weeks what could happen, and even that England had what it takes, I now say; "I TOLD YOU SO..." On top of that, they did it with 14 MEN since almost the very start! Argentina could not avoid falling into the trap of over-confidence, and we lost like amateurs against a supposedly weakened team. The English would now say "bollocks", but they shoud not, since their recent history is embarrasing. But, they never lost their heads, and as Argentina were unable to unsettle them and failed to capitalize some points or combinations, they gained in confidence hugely, inversely to Argentina. Serves us right for our arrogance. If Argentina are going to play this BADLY, there is not a chance in Heaven that we qualify for the next stage! Shame on Los Pumas! Such a fancied team.....
English pragmatism. Can’t win by the game, win by high class kicks! Congratulations. In rugby, never underestimate England! And my heart is bleeding saying that because I’m French 😂😂😂
As a South African, I thought England was fantastic. I'm surprised there isnt a bigger outcry about the red card, which I thought was very harsh. Ford's tactics using dropgoals to keep the 14 man England in the game was masterful. I'll be watching England with eagle eyes from here on, they may have a few surprises up their sleeves.....

They really don't care about rugby. The media was all over their football qualifier match against Ecuador. This match had no cut through to the masses.
@@juliovillagran4105 oof
Being African and supporting Argentina. Read your history mate. Ignorance is one helluva drug.
@@juliovillagran4105 That´s true, football is everything in Argentina, then but really far is basketball, then tenis, then maybe rugby or volley. Besides, people don't feel close to argentinean rugby culture.
@@paulquatro same in England mate. You won't find any TV channel or radio station prioritising the RWC over the Euro qualifiers, or even the premier league games for that matter. Cricket and Tennis get more publicity here than the rugby does, anyone here who doesn't follow the sport probably has no idea the world cup is even on.....
The difference between the 2 teams was England took their opportunities while Pumas were lethargic in approach. Great win by England. Love from Fiji.
Good luck tonight!
Beaut performance by Fiji against Wales, should of won!
@@GuyWilson706 wasn't our night. Ref was horrible but we go again!
tan simple como real tu análisis, saludos!
Argentina should be attempting more drop goals. This is still football, not wrestling after all.
Masterclass from Ford, but the officiating was a momentum killer.
The ref was rather in favour of England.
england were their usual poor, Argentina were diabolically bad. A good team against a team playing so badly would have scored tries, not drop goals.
A mi la expulsión me pareció excesiva. Después es cierto que el árbitro compensó con algunos penales discutibles.
@pacman4568 you are obviously clueless about rugby as playing a man down for the whole game makes it almost impossible to attack regularly.The new rules are killing the gang as a contest.
Preposterous red card for Curry. Has the referee ever heard of the word "accident"? These new disciplinary/safety rules are in danger of killing the game.what next? Speed limits for tackles? Padding? We also have too much referee-domination of games and rules half the spectators don 't undrtstand.
That said: I thought Ford was spectacular.
I’m gonna say it…. George Ford would not have been able to kick those drop goals if Ben Youngs was playing. Mitchell has the sharpness and speed of pass to allow that time on the ball. Him and Ford must start all games!!!
And crucially, NO Farrell.
A red? 😂 Stop it! Hats off to England for managing to eek out an ugly win, but whats the point in playing rugby if that's a straight red offence? May as well field a team of 5 footers at this rate to avoid any risk of head contact. I'm all for player safety but what on earth is curry supposed to do differently there, without letting the man jump right past him?
couldn't agree more. If that's a red in rugby then what's a punch to the face - lifetime ban?!
Curry is a clean, fearless player - the rules need to also protect players like him. In this case, a player jumping and landing should be a mitigating factor. If Curry went in low he might get a boot in the eyes or a knee in the head
Maybe (just maybe) don't go for a tackle on a player that hasn't landed back on the field?! And maybe (just maybe) go tackling lower?!
@@moggie269 Curry only made contact once the player had landed. His technique could've been better (hence yellow) but a RED implies zero mitigation, which doesn't make sense, as the fact that the player was landing from air should be mitigation
(as this makes it hard for a tackler to judge)
@@smartalecc Judging on the replay that I can see in the highlights, the player landed ON Curry. But maybe it's just a bad angle.
My point remains: to prevent any card, Curry could have waited and, more importantly, just go lower...
ESPECIALLY as the Chilli player has not been upgraded.
Truly disgusting treatment of the English players and they have a genuine case of prejudice against them.
Wow what a outstanding performance from ford absolute masterclass
Forget the result - England you played with passion today, there was intensity, there was conviction, there was accuracy, there was fitness - far more than the warm ups. That’s what the fans want to see, the win is a joy but the effort was what won me over. Imagine what we can do if we can play with a full squad for a game or two - maybe even a first choice squad! Love the RWC! Another huge day tomorrow!
This 👌👌👌
An incredibly boring match. George Ford 27 and his league team defeated a woefully coached Lebanese league team.
@@thingme9941 👍
Ford is massively underrated!
Pumas jugaron como Veron en el 2002
I remembered Wilkinson.
George is just like a wizard.
Congrats to England, deserved win,huge Ford!!❤🎉🎉🎉
Emergence of new style of play in Rugby. Drop goals will be the main weapon for those team with inferior physical size or when they're down with one or two men. Give enough distance from ruck and have 2 kickers, 1 main and 1 backup kicker - can rip any team apart. Slow but a sure way to win a game.. keep adding up those small points
Can’t deny that when England went down to 14 I was worried “Never a red by the way” but what a great performance not only by George but the whole team. Their strength and “thou’ll not pass” attitude was 1st class… Remember, Argentina have been very good of late… Congratulations England, happy for Stephen Borthwick as he’s been under pressure….. Hopefully the start of good things….
Pumas were awful today! England played a smart practical kicking game. Great win
Madness that they won with the early red
How on earth MC didn't see red is anyone's guess? Where was Argentina today?
tactical disasterclass from cheicka
I reckon that was such a cool way to win. Well done England from an All black supporter. Ironically Hugo Porter won a few test matches for Argentina in similar fashion.
Everyone hyping up Argentina but could not beat a 14 man english side in poor form but heads off to the english flyhalf amazing performance
At least they could score a Try
"Heads off?" You mean capital punishment??? Good idea. Wish I had thought of that. Bring it on!!!
🌹🏴
@@FSMusicLTD Yeah, with an extra man...
If South Africa gets this ref there will be no end to their whining.
One of the best England performances I have seen in years! For the Aussies moaning about our kicking game, the guys played with the cards that they were dealt(a very dubious red card). Discipline was amazing, and everyone defended to the hilt. Well done lads!
The drop goals were on point! Awesome to watch!
Yep, all 3 went over!
My oh my. What a start to the campaign. & O.F. I don't think we need you. Mr Ford was just about as brilliant as he could be!👍👍👍
No es posible que esta el mundial del deporte mas hermoso del mundo, y en mi pais, Mexico, los medios "deportivos" no dicen nada al respecto🤦🏻♂️
Saludos de parte de uno de los pocos mexicanos que amamos el Rugby 🏉
Barring football is other sports properly supported in Mexico?
@@elennet4116 Football soccer is by far the most followed sport in Mexico. In second place is baseball, both local leagues (there are 2 leagues) and MLB. Basketball NBA, NFL football. There is a lot of love for boxing. There is a local sport called "Charreria" also has some hobby, ws with traditional Mexican horses and riders. Taekwondo and now F1 with Checo Perez.
Beautiful sports such as Rugby or Cricket are little or nothing known in Mexico, unfortunately.

@@jessepinkman2239 that's good baseball and basketball
Hopefully we can see Mexicans grow more in other sports such as Hockey Cricket Rugby Volleyball, that would be great

Funny how people were complaining about Ford making the English WC team. They said he was too old, past his prime, etc...
Ford shows the critics that he is still the great player he is, what a masterclass!
This is insane 😳 👏 well done, England, Argentina just awful.
England played well, but they will have to beat the Aotearoans to win the Cup!
Don't think neither England nor the ABs are going to the final this year mate.
I'm Aussie and would love to see the ABs there this year, wallabies no shot imo. But the recent ABs just aren't the dominant team
What a brilliant display of northern hemisphere rugby.
Great shift by the boys in those situations.
Even better when haters can't handle England winning against all odds. 🏴
...and boy are they out.
@@KiwisDownUnder think they lost money🤣🤣
Against all odds?
@@Canvashedwhat about those English tries? 😂😂
If England can get out of the pools then they've practically won the whole world cup
Had to follow the game on text, but what wasn't clear was those *GF drop goals were from nearly halfway!* You don't DO that! Incredible.
After the red card, I was about to switch off my TV because England will not be able to win the game with 14 players.
But the English forwards were a class of its own.
Thanks for a great performance George.
Well done well done george ford good job for england
If that’s a red card for Curry and a yellow for Carreras we might as well all go home. Utterly absurd.
That is a disrace
if you watched the game that should have only been a penalty.
This is just rugby union these days bullshit chasing bullshit
The new rules on rugby is like you are watching a new series of Netflix for under 7 years old
Curry penalty, Carreras yellow (marginally)
George Ford is a legendary kicker!
This is how to silence critics well done England
I'll silence you.(32-12)
I don't think this game silences critics, they couldn't even get a try
Yes, you will win the whole thing 😂
as a kiwi I hate the english kicking goal YET... this was a terrific performance and smart footy pushing score along with kicks.
That was a kicking master class from George Ford.
It was an unintentional clash of heads. I would like to see a warning and yellow given for first time offense. If the offense is repeated follow it up with a red. An intentional head butt obviously warrants a straight red.
Never a red card, why didn’t the argue get binned as well it looked like an accidental clash to me
Exactly. It's rugby, for crying out loud. Head clashes are going to happen whether you like it or not. The question is whether there was any intent or recklessness involved. In this case, there wasn't. Slightly mistimed perhaps. Warranting a yellow perhaps. But a 'retrospective' red? Ridiculous decision imo.
@TomUK7h
Yes, a spot‐on analysis of what is wrong with the refereeing of accidental/unintentional head collisions at the current time. Fortunately, England responded with great character and dug themselves out of a hole to record a famous win.
Interesante como planteo Inglaterra el partido y sin ningún ensayo que buen resultado obtuvo
Nice one Lads 🇬🇧
Jannie de Beer has the rights to this game plan. Excellent kicking.
Was not expecting that after the red 🎉
He reminded of Jannie debeer when the Springboks played against england magnificent from George Ford well done the new Johnny Wilkinson perhaps
I missed the red but from what I’ve seen I can’t fathom why the Argentinian wasn’t given a red for pretty much the same offence against Steward?
Exactly and his was way worse as at least curry was bent and wrapped...
I don’t like to harp on about how the game is getting softer or start that whole discussion, however, come on… what is happening to the game?
@@Trollcoyb Players are dying in their early 50's... That's what has been happening to the game. Before the 2000's most players used to look like you and me.... like me at last :) (but waaaaaay better). Nowadays, it is a different game where Lomu wouldn't look so out this world.
I think that it was red also, but some how stayed on the field. but it matters not. probably did us a favour.
@@monkey.360 by the modern day letter of the law, you could possibly make an argument, but from just the eye test even in slow motion, my brain still can’t accept how that is considered a red. Where Carrera knows exactly what he’s doing and he’s going in with intent to just get one on Ford however with no control of his body? To me curry’s just look like he’s waiting for the bloke to come down and catch him. Just looked like an unfortunate rugby incident with the clash of heads?
Smoked em without having to score a single try. Those drop goals were genius from Ford
Smoked em without being able to score a single try. I fixed it for you.
As an argie. I got to say that the red card on the English pkayer was unjust. Anyways england deserved the win and Argentina just didn't seem to be on field. It was just not the day. Kudos to you all
A true sportsman 👍
Eres todo un caballero y good sport . Thanks man 👏🏽
I’m sure you’ll bounce back next game 💪🏽
As an Argentine, with sportsmanship and respect I congratulate the English team.
On the other hand, I comment with pain that the poor and bad performance of the Argentine team only shows the socioeconomic debacle that Argentine society is suffering due to the deplorable government that we have in the last decades, which affects our rugby players.
Take a page out of the South African playbook... sports teams must rise above the mess the politicians create in the country and play their hearts and souls out for their nation. They are the beacon the people need to never give up, to stand together and fight the powers that be. Chin up, good luck on your next game!🇿🇦
Pidiendo que vuelva Cristina como en el mundial del 2007, banco amigo 🙌✌️
Que tendrá que ver,... que pelotudo....
jajaja qué tendrá que ver!! Y el campeonato de fútbol? capo, el 90% Argentina estuvo siempre como el culo y de vez en cuando salimos bien en básquet, tenis, etc. No mezclés tornillos con huevos. Ahora resulta que en el 2007, cuando llegamos a las semifinales del mundial de rugby eramos potencia económica mundial. Jate de joder
comentario cipayo e ignorante
England manned up 💪🏼 hats off
That red card was horrific, but they still managed to win while being down to 14 the whole match ! Impressive ! Good job, England !

Arrugaron una vez más contra los ingleses los Espumas

Thank you mate good luck in your remaining games 👍
Not a single try for England but George Ford carried the day for them. This is a dream start for the English especially considering how poor their form was before the world cup.
Ironically amazing foot work perform from 10 George Ford.. against Argentinians and their beloved 10 in football!
3 dropped goals and 6 penalties, what an exciting game rugby is.
Get it right its England rugby
Better than nil nil draws in footy you salty a$$hole..
It was a genius performance. One man down you aren’t gonna win with attacking rugby, so Ford played the perfect game. If you knew a bit more you’d have clocked this earlier!
Know nothing about rugby clearly
If the England football team kicked 3 goals in open play, plus several penalties past Argentina, you'd be hearing about it for the next 50 years.
That way of winning is only possible for the truly strong.😮
Rugby as this game proves is about more than scoring tries, its about developing a strategy to win, on the hoof, when your main game plan goes out of the window after 3mins. On that basis this was a Rugby masterclass.
The drop goal used to be popular, I'm glad it made a comeback.
DG from halfway line superbly set up and executed.
As a proud Argie I must admit that we played way too much defense and the English got the best of us!!!! Congrats to the English yet this WC is far from over!!!
brilliant from Ford ..I love the intelligence and pragmatism ... dificult to score with 14 men ..obviously going to be a low scoring game .. go for the drop goal! but it takes SO much skill ! you dont see Dan Biggar attempting many ! (from a welsh fan) and the second one went over from half way with some metres to spare ! irrespective of nationality ..rugby intelligence combined with total confidence is good to see , Ford showed it in abundance !
England showed an absolute masterclass in how to control a fame with 14 men. Argentina were woeful in their decision making and basic rugby skills. Red and yellow cards, who knows, seems a pretty grey area but I do like the how they investigate these things now while the game gets a chance to keep going
yeah, it was a bad game for us. England deserved the win, but showed a lot weaker than usual. It looked like the Pumas didn't even feel like playing today.
The ref did England a massive favour because after Curry got sent off England had 16 players working in their favour- 15 of them were Argentinian and the other was George Ford.
Reminds me of when Daly was sent off early against Argentina during Eddie Jones"s tenure. Displayed similar grit and determination on both occasions, not to mention superior game management.
This RWC has a definite slance toward kicking I’ve noticed. Well done England
Not particularly. It's a typical part of Rugby.
It’s been like this for the last 3 World Cup cycles. Every first-tier nations’ coaching team has a coach with Australian Football League credentials that’s how the kicking and catching game’s taken seriously.
That was a crazy strategy to limit injuries and forwards fatigue
Genuinely wasn't expecting england to come close, they might make the semis because of this
Hope not.
Doubt it. We’ll likely face Aus if we do well in our group, we’ll certainly need tries for that.
Reminds of the 2015 Springbok squad. A good team, but they could score tries against NZ, just kept up with penalties. That was a team who ran into problems with this type of approach, couldn’t execute a good game plan and resigned themselves to going for posts (from a Springbok fan)
An Argie here: sincerest congrats England! As I have been posting all over the place for weeks what could happen, and even that England had what it takes, I now say; "I TOLD YOU SO..." On top of that, they did it with 14 MEN since almost the very start! Argentina could not avoid falling into the trap of over-confidence, and we lost like amateurs against a supposedly weakened team. The English would now say "bollocks", but they shoud not, since their recent history is embarrasing. But, they never lost their heads, and as Argentina were unable to unsettle them and failed to capitalize some points or combinations, they gained in confidence hugely, inversely to Argentina. Serves us right for our arrogance. If Argentina are going to play this BADLY, there is not a chance in Heaven that we qualify for the next stage! Shame on Los Pumas! Such a fancied team.....
Both are now in the semi final!!... imagine a England Argentina final!!😂
Pure class by England...they played brilliantly...
Actually the Argentine team that England played was clueless. Congrats to England
English pragmatism. Can’t win by the game, win by high class kicks! Congratulations.
In rugby, never underestimate England! And my heart is bleeding saying that because I’m French 😂😂😂
That is the type of flyhalf you need to get you through the world cup.
Gotta love highlights of penalty goals and frop kicks.
It's the English way
That was a statement!!
Of an inability to cross the try line?
As a South African, I thought England was fantastic. I'm surprised there isnt a bigger outcry about the red card, which I thought was very harsh. Ford's tactics using dropgoals to keep the 14 man England in the game was masterful. I'll be watching England with eagle eyes from here on, they may have a few surprises up their sleeves.....
When it’s any head on head collision, I’m used to just seeing this as a red tbh. But yeah it’s a tough call, not much Tom Curry could’ve done
That said, considering there were three similar head clashes today in each game with just 1 yellow, yeah it’s very annoying. Hope they appeal it
George Ford vs Argentina 🎉 Love❤ from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰
derrota indigna de los pumas. Varios necesitan un bañito de humildad...
Es hora de que lo maneje Quesada el equipo y que se deje de joder Ledesma manejando desde las sombras el equipo. Cheika no entiende el español
hace rato debería estar quesada...pero algo raro pasa en la UAR, no puede ser que hayan cambiado de head couch y carreras siga de apertura...
Los Espumas soberbios ???...que extraño 😂😅
Ive just found the best way to teach my son the multiples of 3 through Ford
The curry incident was less of an impact than when the Argentinian player clattered ford. Crazy
And that's why english players get so many reds. You don't understand the rules
Laws, and I wouldnt be surprised to see Carreras hit by the citing officer for a red. He's a dirty player, happy to put an eye gouge in when he can
Amazing performance from England
All 27 points from man himself
