"Thomas Tuchel has been talking about the rationale behind his team selection for England's 2-0 win against Serbia at Wembley, urging those on the bench to channel their anger into fighting spirit which can benefit the team. He has also addressed the Bellingham Discourse, albeit reluctantly: Share Meanwhile, despite shocking everyone by racking up four wins in qualifying, the Faroe Islands' 3-1 loss to Croatia has ended their hopes of a World Cup fairytale."
