Coverage of England’s World Cup exit continues, focusing on the tactics and substitutions attributed to manager Thomas Tuchel. Gary Neville argues that Tuchel should have made changes during the match, specifically saying that Harry Kane should have been taken off. Other former players, including Ian Wright and Roy Keane, also contribute to the discussion. Roy Keane is reported to criticize Tuchel’s stance of having “no regrets,” disputing the manager’s assessment of his decisions.
Across the reporting, the main theme is disagreement over whether Tuchel’s tactical approach and timing of substitutions were appropriate during a disappointing tournament. The accounts frame the debate as an inquest into what tactical factors led to England’s elimination and whether alternative decisions could have improved their performance. The sources agree that multiple high-profile pundits are publicly challenging Tuchel’s choices and his characterization of the outcome.
