Gordon revealed surprise at being substituted but argued that wider cultural issues influenced England's collapse, which allowed Argentina to fight back with two late goals to reach the final. The England player's comments come amid intense scrutiny of Tuchel's role in Atlanta and his assertion that 'ball possession' was not in his team's DNA.
