Thomas Tuchel responds after England fan backlash in chants during Latvia game
"England manager Thomas Tuchel responded to some of the chanting from fans in tonight's World Cup qualifying win over Latvia. The Three Lions won 5-0 away from home to confirm their place at next summer's World Cup in the United States, but Tuchel admits he got some stick from the travelling supporters. The German tactician notably criticised the fans for the lack of atmosphere in the win over Wales at Wembley last week, and he got a bit of a response from those that travelled to Latvia this week."
"Tuchel hasn't had an entirely smooth time as England manager so far, but there's no doubt that recent results and performances have looked better. Overall, there's certainly a sense that things are starting to tick for the national side, so can Tuchel help them go all the way at next summer's World Cup? England made great strides under previous manager Gareth Southgate, making it to the World Cup semi-finals in 2018 and two European Championship finals in 2021 and 2024."
England secured qualification for the 2026 World Cup with a 5-0 away win over Latvia. Manager Thomas Tuchel acknowledged receiving some heckling from travelling supporters after previously criticising a lack of atmosphere at Wembley. Tuchel reportedly took the chants in good humour and said he respected fans' sense of humour. Recent results and performances under Tuchel have improved, prompting optimism about England's prospects. The team builds on progress made under Gareth Southgate, including a 2018 World Cup semi-final and European Championship finals in 2021 and 2024, as attention turns to the tournament in the United States.
