Michael Owen criticizes England's tactics following World Cup semi-final exit

Following England's 1-2 loss to Argentina in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, ex-striker Michael Owen slammed their defensive approach. He remarked that retreating and packing 11 players into their own penalty area to clear the ball aimlessly is not a display of bravery. Owen further stated that football shouldn't be about physical aggression or getting bloodied, calling the style of play 'rubbish' and noting that he could easily get his local pub team to play the same way.
