Despite England's qualification for the 2026 World Cup semi-finals, Thomas Tuchel did not hide his disappointment after the hard-fought victory over Norway. The German coach felt his team made things more difficult for themselves and expressed his dissatisfaction with the performance, despite the qualification.

After scoring a decisive brace, Jude Bellingham responded to his manager by highlighting the quality of the opposition:

He might not know what it’s like to face Haaland, Ødegaard, Nusa and Sørloth. This is not an easy team to play against.

The Real Madrid star also praised his teammates’ mentality:

We’re trying to build a strong group. We’re not going to win every match by dominating. Sometimes you have to know how to win when things get tough.

Thanks to this win, England advances to the World Cup semi-finals. The Three Lions will face Argentina on Tuesday for a place in the final.
