The Three Lions boss has been known to give an earful to whichever player is nearest and has done the same to the star against Ghana and in training. England booked their place in the last 16 against Mexico thanks to two late goals from Harry Kane‚ who is now on five goals for the tournament.
Alan Shearer has urged England's wingers to become more unpredictable to boost the Three Lions' chances of World Cup glory this summer. England will meet DR Congo in the last-32 on Wednesday‚ with the Three Lions looking to build on finishing top of their group. Thomas Tuchel's side‚ however‚ have faced criticism after struggling to create chances against Ghana and Panama.
The match in New Jersey ‚ which finished 2-0 thanks in large part to Jude Bellingham's goal and assist for Harry Kane in an improved second half‚ was painfully familiar for England so far at this tournament. Boss Thomas Tuchel cut an angry figure on the sidelines‚ barking orders at Kane just three minutes in‚ and honing in on Rashford and Saka during the first hydration break. For former England striker Shearer there was plenty that was going wrong in the opening 45 minutes but it was Rashford and Saka‚ two of the changes Tuchel made to the starting line-up after the 0-0 draw with Ghana‚ that were the focus of his attention.
Scotland's miserable World Cup is officially over and the Tartan Army are heading home after Croatia defeated Ghana on Saturday night. A chastening 3-0 defeat at the hands of Brazil‚ which followed on from a nervy win over Haiti and an uninspiring 1-0 defeat to Morocco‚ had Steve Clarke and his players resigned to heading home at the first opportunity. That has now been mathematically confirmed as wins for Belgium‚ Bosnia & Herzegovina‚ Croatia‚ Ecuador‚ Senegal‚ as well as precious points for Iran‚ Paraguay and Sweden‚ meant that Scotland finished as one of the four worst third placed teams.
Cole Palmer has insisted he is 'not crying' over Thomas Tuchel's decision to axe him from England's World Cup squad this summer - but says he won't pay close attention to their progress. The Chelsea star‚ 24‚ appeared to have carved out a long-term future with the national team after impressively bursting on to the scene at Stamford Bridge and scoring in England's Euro 2024 final against Spain‚ but an unprecedented dip in form has seen him fall out of Tuchel's plans completely. The German's decision to omit Palmer‚ as well as Real Madrid defender Trent Alexander-Arnold and Manchester City star Phil Foden‚ came as a huge surprise to several fans and will remain a talking point if England continue to struggle in attacking areas as they did during their disappointing 0-0 draw against Ghana.
AngryGinge was in attendance for England's World Cup clash with Ghana in Foxborough‚ USA on Tuesday‚ but his experience was soured by a fan in front of him being allegedly racist. AngryGinge‚ real name Morgan Burtwistle - who is a YouTuber and won last year's I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!‚ took to social media to expose a supporter who was racist towards Ghana during the 0-0 draw. It is unclear if the unidentified person in question is an England fan‚ but he was sitting among some Three Lions supporters.
After England's disappointing draw with Ghana in Boston‚ manager Thomas Tuchel must find a way to win against Panama in New York on Saturday if his team are to have the best opportunity of winning World Cup Group L. Here Mail Sport identifies four problems Tuchel must fix between now and the weekend.
England have been accused of benefiting from 'two-tier refereeing' after Jude Bellingham covered his mouth to talk to Ghana opponent Jordan Ayew. Unlike Paraguay forward Miguel Almiron‚ who became the first player to be sent off at the World Cup for covering his mouth during his country's opening group stage clash against Turkey‚ Bellingham was not shown a red card.
A witch doctor's boast that he had cursed Harry Kane ahead of England's World Cup clash with Ghana seemed eerily well-founded after the Three Lions captain suffered a nightmare outing in Boston on Tuesday night. With England in good spirits after beating Croatia 4-2 in their World Cup opener‚ Ghana's self-proclaimed witch doctor Nana Kwaku Bonsam claimed he had intervened by 'working on' a curse to stop Kane from scoring. Sure enough‚ the goals dried up for England as Thomas Tuchel's side prodded and probed for 90 frustrating minutes against Ghana without scoring‚ forced to settle for a disappointing but not disastrous 0-0 stalemate ahead of Saturday's final group stage match against Panama.
The Three Lions were held to a goalless draw on Tuesday night‚ having mustered only four shots on target despite dominating possession with 78% of the ball. Clear-cut chances were few and far between as England struggled to break down Ghana's disciplined defence.
