World Cup 2026: England turn on the style; Fifa denies ticketless fans breached security – live

06/18 16:12
7m ago 04.29 EDT And in yet more Tuchel news … England head coach Thomas Tuchel has complained he could not see his players singing the national anthem because of a scrum of photographers blocking his view – and has urged Fifa to intervene. Tuchel led England to a 4-2 win over Croatia in their opening World Cup game at the AT+T Stadium in Arlington on Wednesday, with Harry Kane scoring twice and Jude Bellingham and Marcus Rashford scoring the third and fourth goals respectively. He was unhappy that for his first tournament finals match in charge of England, he could not see his players during the rendition of God Save The King. “I have to tell you something, I am begging FIFA to change the position of the photographers in the national anthem because I could not see my team in the national anthem,” he said. “I was waiting for this moment. It was a very, very special moment today and I was standing in front of a wall of 50 photographers, half a metre away, and I could not see one single player. It ruined a little bit my experience. “It is very emotional. When I was young and when I started coaching, this was too big to dream of this kind of occasion.” View image in fullscreen Thomas Tuchel: Visibly unhappy with the scrum of photographers during the anthems.
