Thomas Tuchel’s future comes under scrutiny

The Three Lions saw their hopes of winning the title come to an end after suffering a 2-1 defeat to Argentina.

The decisions made from the bench, particularly during the second half, were questioned after La Albiceleste came from behind to secure their place in the final.

As doubts continued to grow, the Football Association had reportedly already decided the manager’s future.

England still have one final objective

Before beginning to think about the next stage, England must face France in the third-place playoff.

The match represents an opportunity to end the tournament with a victory and secure the England men’s national team’s best World Cup finish since winning the title as hosts in 1966.

For Tuchel, the final match of the tournament will also provide an opportunity to respond to the criticism and prove that he remains in control of a project that, for now, continues to have the support of the Football Association.
