Did German coach Thomas Tuchel sabotage England's World Cup?

[AngryCarl3]

Yes, revenge for WW2

No, Tuchel is just the worst coach ever

No, he got you to the semi-finals and deserves another chance.

[EmmaMary]

Rumour has it he accepted a bung.

[AngryCarl3]

That's an ugly rumour but it's also the only explanation that makes sense.

[EmmaMary]

Thank you so very much indeed for the MHO.

[FreyaRed]

They got bribed

[AngryCarl3]

That's an ugly rumour but it's also the only explanation that makes sense.

[FreyaRed]

I think they aren't some C league noobs who think they can park the bus in front of gate for 50 minutes without being dismembered by opponent. There was no pressing while Argentina attacked in second half, there was nothing, they played worse the some regional league juniors.

I guess Argentina is poor but their football team has a rich backbone. Bread and games for soothing the pleb.

[AngryCarl3]

Yes, also their coach has tactical nous, made the right substitutions at the right time.

No, Thomas Tuchel didn’t sabotage England’s World Cup 🇩🇪⚽️🇬🇧

He had influence over some English players at Chelsea, but national team performance is down to the FA, Gareth Southgate, tactics, squad selection, and how players adapt to the international game. Club coaches may affect form or confidence, yet they don’t control how a country plays in a tournament.

[AngryCarl3]

Oh I see. Blame Southgate for everything, even after he retired.

[NathanDavis]

I don't think it was sabotage but

if it was the coach who decided that... trying to hold back Messi for over 40 minutes was the best way to go about a 1 - 0 lead...

that's just IRRESPONSIBLE

[dfdfdffffdfdf]

unfortunately , parking bus after u have 1 goal lead , is common., i see many popular managers , popular clubs do it , sometimes it works , sometimes it become nighmare

[AngryCarl3]

It worked against Mexico. Against Argentina, not so much.

[DryGermanGuy]

Dude... 🙄🙄🙄 Maybe just accept the fact that the Argentinian team wanted it more?

[AngryCarl3]

Argentina had a Plan A and a Plan B. England had no plan after they scored. That comes from the coach.

[DryGermanGuy]

So, the fact they have even gotten that far also came from the coach, right?

[AngryCarl3]

Not necessarily.

[DryGermanGuy]

So, England just defeating France with 6:4 must be the success of Tuchel's strategy, right?

[AngryCarl3]

He rotated the squad for a meaningless game. Basically his second choice team.

[Micheal6918]

No he didn't
