ATLANTA: Thomas Tuchel was hired by England as head coach with a simple brief: win the 2026 World Cup.
So far, so good as they prepare to take on Lionel Messi’s Argentina in the semifinals.
The German has overseen a largely happy camp, dancing with his players in the dressing room in Mexico City after their battling win against the co-hosts.
But his tone changed following Saturday’s 2-1 quarter-final victory over Norway, when he described his team as “lucky.”
“The result is fantastic. The last four is amazing, but I’m not happy with the performance,” he said.
