History

Historical Context

In the 1998 World Cup round of 16, England captain David Beckham was sent off, leaving ten men as the match ended 2-2 and Argentina won 4-3 on penalties. The dismissal recalled England’s earlier defeats to Argentina, who had knocked them out twice in the previous three tournaments. Scotland’s recent red-card loss to Switzerland reinforces coaches like Sébastien Pocognoli’s focus on discipline.
