England Reach World Cup Semis Despite Tuchel's Criticism

Thomas Tuchel became the first England coach to reach the World Cup semifinals since 2018, but the German manager was critical of his team's display despite their 2-1 win over Norway. "The result is fantastic, we're in the last four, but, not a performance," Tuchel stated after the match at Miami Stadium, pointing to organizational issues and technical mistakes. afnews.co.za

While denying any mentality problems within the squad, Tuchel emphasized the need for improved quality. "It's nothing to do with mentality, it's about quality, we need to play better," he said. The coach did praise Jude Bellingham, who scored both goals, calling him "World Class." England will now face the winner of Argentina vs. Switzerland on Wednesday at Atlanta Stadium.
