Thomas Tuchel still bristles over World Cup criticism despite Nations League run
After three straight wins and a clean defensive record, Tuchel hit back on the way England’s World Cup exit was framed.
Thomas Tuchel hasn’t fully let go of the World Cup criticism that followed England’s semi-final exit to Argentina, and he raised the subject again despite their Nations League momentum.
The England manager faced sharp questions after the way the World Cup loss to Argentina was portrayed. Wembley’s crowd set a different tone, singing his name as England celebrated a strong run: three straight wins without conceding and a Nations League quarter-final that is close to guaranteed.
Tuchel had said he wanted to move forward, with clear-the-air talks held with England players who still felt anger after his public criticism and the “DNA” comments. But when pressed again, he delivered a pointed response, underlining that the sting from the World Cup still remains. Sky Sports notes it was 83 days since that Argentina defeat.
