Tuchel Pleased With England's World Cup Progress

England coach Thomas Tuchel praised his team's 2-1 extra-time victory over Norway that secured a spot in the 2026 FIFA World Cup semifinals, while criticizing their performance.

Thomas Tuchel became the first England coach to reach the World Cup semifinals since 2018 following Saturday's 2-1 win over Norway in Miami. Despite the result, the manager was critical of his team's display, noting 'the commitment is there' but criticizing 'sloppy' technical mistakes and organization issues.

'The result is fantastic, we're in the last four, but, not a performance,' Tuchel stated. He praised Jude Bellingham, who scored both goals, calling him 'World Class.' England now advances to face the winner of Argentina vs. Switzerland in the semifinals on Wednesday at Atlanta Stadium. amunra.qpon
