Tuchel under fire: England's World Cup drama and Kane's rescue
After the 2-1 win against Congo, the debate raged: Tuchel was attacked, Kane was celebrated. Now Mexico is threatening.
England qualified for the World Cup round of 16 despite a weak performance, but the focus is not on success, but on the massive criticism of coach Thomas Tuchel. After the narrow 2-1 win against DR Congo, media fireworks erupted, denouncing the German coach's tactical mistakes and the team's uninspired performance. Getting into the knockout phase feels more like a lucky escape than a triumph for the Three Lions.
The 2-1 win against DR Congo was anything but convincing and revealed the latent doubts about Tuchel's leadership style. Wayne Rooney and large sections of the British press did not spare the national coach, accusing him of tactical incompetence and downgrading the England team to a “pub team”. This harsh criticism reflects the deep disappointment over a performance that in no way meets the demands of a World Cup favorite.
