Ford emerged as the architect of the Pumas’ death by a thousand cuts by kicking six penalties and three drop-goals.
“Just the way the game unfolded, we went a man down quite early but it was greasy, it was difficult to hold the ball for many phases.
“In our heads we wanted to be clinical in terms of coming away with points when we had good field position. But it’s incredibly hard to attack when they’ve got a lot of numbers in the line.” Argentina boss Michael Cheika admitted it was a frustrating evening for his Pumas, who were shambolic for most of the match.
“Pretty much everything that could go wrong did go wrong. We let the play get too stop-start. England played the circumstances very well and full credit to them,” Cheika said. “There was almost no play. There were so many stoppages. The play we did get we didn’t master very well. That was by design by the other team. They did it very well.“The World Cup is not over. We still have work to do to qualify. Our players will take a lot from this experience.”
