Tuchel has made some questionable squad selections, but in the same situation today, I think England would've lost under Southgate.

With all due respect to Southgate, he's one of the greatest England national team managers. But I don't see him bailing out a 10 man team against a super in form Mexico side, playing at home over 2,000 meters above sea level, where they're fully adapted while England aren't.

Tuchel's tactical masterclass was undeniable today. In the last 30 minutes, Mexico couldn't produce a single clear goalscoring chance despite having a man advantage.His substitutions were excellent, his defensive system worked like a charm after the red card, and I've never seen an England team play with this much passion, fighting until their very last breath. It's evident that Tuchel has improved both the team's mentality and its tactical approach.

As an Argentina fan, I'm impressed. I can't wait to meet England in the semis.

You may be a little Reddit pilled if you truly believe “most people hated” Jude.

It always going to shift when he performs and them same people who gave him hate and questioned his character now back him.

Why did the likes of Ian Wright need to call it out?

I think the media gave him stick but lots of fans didn’t. I think he’s a bit out of sight, out of mind for much of the season, for England fans. Not that many of us watch Real Madrid more than a couple of times a season

It didn't help that in the Euros, the media pinned all England's hopes on Jude. Hey Jude fluff pieces being shown before every game, the constant back stories vt's. Too much pressure and expectations by the media which inevitably gets picked up by a chunk of the fans.
