Jude Bellingham Blasts Tuchel’s Critique After England’s Dramatic Win
England midfielder Jude Bellingham has hit back at coach Thomas Tuchel’s post-match assessment following their 2-1 extra-time victory over Norway in the 2026 World Cup quarter-final. After scoring a 93rd-minute winner at Miami Stadium, the 23-year-old Real Madrid star reminded Tuchel that playing against Haaland, Ødegaard and co. is no easy task and suggested the former defender may not fully grasp those conditions. Bellingham praised the squad’s fighting spirit, insisting results matter more than stylish play at this stage. He also referenced Tuchel’s limited playing career, noting the German coach never featured in top-flight football before knee injuries cut his own career short. England now face Argentina in the semi-finals, where their “win-dirty” mentality will be put to the test against the defending champions.
