United States President Donald Trump has criticised England manager Thomas Tuchel’s tactical approach in the Three Lions’ 2-1 defeat to Argentina in the FIFA World Cup semi-finals, saying it was a mistake to deploy captain Harry Kane in a defensive role after taking the lead.
Speaking on Friday, Trump said England abandoned their attacking approach after Anthony Gordon’s opener, allowing the defending champions to stage a late comeback and secure a place in Sunday’s World Cup final against Spain.
“You have a great player in England who I’ve played golf with. And he is Harry [Kane] who has been fantastic.
