Coach Tuchel berates the English players.

Coach Thomas Tuchel had a heated argument with his players in the opening match of the 2026 World Cup, a 4-2 victory against Croatia in Group L.

Coach Tuchel reportedly had an argument with goalkeeper Jordan.

In his World Cup debut as head coach, Tuchel kept the same starting lineup as in recent matches. This safe decision quickly paid off when Harry Kane opened the scoring in the 12th minute from the penalty spot. However, the game quickly turned around when Croatia equalized, before taking the lead again, putting the English defense under constant pressure.

Against this backdrop, the atmosphere on the coaching bench became tense. According to FOX Sports reporter Geoff Shreeves, Tuchel was caught arguing directly with goalkeeper Jordan Pickford during a water break.

The cause is believed to stem from Pickford's failure to follow instructions regarding ball distribution from the back. Instead of passing as requested, the Everton goalkeeper appeared to have handled the ball in the wrong direction due to losing his balance during the pressing situation.
