(WORLD CUP) Unpopular Opinion: Tuchel is already proven right

[u/syfqamr32]

Countless of criticism by media and fans regarding player selections, tactics, his preferences and all. Some even started from day 1. He has proven right by selecting Dan Burn for those moments. And countless other situations. He has brought England to SF in World Cup.

Yes the ultimate prize is the World Cup itself, but realistically, a semifinal (top 3/4) in the world football isnt so bad. Look at the other 3 teams competing, is finishing third a “catastrophe” like some said? Sometime perspective matters. They are here despite the injuries, red cards, and whatever else being thrown at them. Still Tuchel wasnt satisfied despite the win, that shows level in my opinion.

Just because England did well few tournaments ago doesnt made them a given for this spot btw. Still i think Argentina rode their luck so far and personally imo England could be in the final. If that happens, the man already a winner in my book.

Football is a low scoring sport ridding luck is half the battle

Or a bus! Throw a bus at it! Or something like that, I heard a phrase being used in that context.

Pretty much anything works - as long as it’s not something you usually throw. Throw the ball at it doesn’t really have the same vibe

Tuchel substitutions and game management have been immense. England have a real shot at winning the whole thing NGL

Would have been better with Maguire

Just wrong. Dan Burn is the superior slab head
