Multiple reports describe England’s World Cup run unraveling through a combination of off-field and on-field issues. One account highlights a power outage at England’s team hotel three days before the match against Argentina, framing it as an early sign of mounting disruption. The reporting also points to intense moments during the tournament, including an incident attributed to Thomas Tuchel in which he reacts strongly during a “what the f***” outburst. Additional themes include player exhaustion as the team approaches the Argentina game and signs of frustration within the squad, including “sulking stars” and players’ anger over defensive tactics. Across the accounts, the emphasis is on self-inflicted problems and internal tension rather than a single external cause. Overall, the sources present a picture of a team dealing with mounting pressure, depleted energy, and disagreement or discontent over tactical approaches, culminating in a downturn during the critical period around the Argentina match.
