US Edition2026 WCQ: I Didn't Like It - Tuchel Slams England Players Despite 1-0 Win over Andorra
- England won 1-0 away to Andorra in a 2026 World Cup qualifier on June 7, with Harry Kane scoring the only goal in the second half at RCDE Stadium in Barcelona.
- The narrow win followed a lack of urgency and a complete loss of momentum after 25 minutes, which Thomas Tuchel criticized strongly in his post-match comments.
- Tuchel fielded an experimental lineup including Jordan Henderson in midfield and Curtis Jones at right-back, and England dominated possession but lacked quality and energy to break down low-ranked opposition.
- Tuchel stated that after losing momentum early on, the team was unable to regain their rhythm throughout the entire first half, and he described the players’ approach toward the end of the match as far from satisfactory.
- The win secured England’s top spot in Group K and marked Tuchel’s third consecutive unbeaten match since taking charge, though he emphasized the need for improvement ahead of their June 10 friendly against Senegal in Nottingham.
