Tuchel struggling: England advances with difficulty to quarterfinals

England defeated Norway in the quarterfinals (2-1, a.e.t.), but Thomas Tuchel appeared physically and mentally exhausted. The English manager, usually very active on the sideline, displayed concerning form that may have affected his decision-making during the match. Tensions with his players, notably Jude Bellingham, were also noted. This accumulated fatigue could hamper the Three Lions before the semifinals of the 2026 World Cup.
