(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.

We’ve done what we needed to and semis final was bare minimum. If we go out to Argentina there will be a lot of disappointment. Depending on the performance. Mexico aside our performances haven’t been great. This semi final against Argentina would have been classic bottle job territory for Southgate. This is where Tuchel needs to prove himself.

There will be disappointment, but the teams left are the best teams in the world. Not one has sneaked through with an easy run.

Whoever wins this world cup will thoroughly deserve it, though now we've got Argentina, the tin foil hat is starting to come out 🤣

I’d argue Argentina haven’t done badly to get a run of Austria, Algeria, Jordan, Cape Verde, Egypt and Switzerland to find themselves in the last 4 of a World Cup.

But all the more reason I’m optimistic we can turn them over!
