Jude Bellingham Unimpressed After Tuchel Criticises 'Lucky' England’s Performance

12 July 2026

In a post-match assessment, Thomas Tuchel did not hold back in his criticism of England’s performance, labeling it as 'sloppy' and 'not fast enough'. This came despite Jude Bellingham's standout display, where he netted two crucial goals that helped secure a 2-1 comeback victory over Norway, propelling the Three Lions into the World Cup semi-finals for the fourth time. Bellingham, however, appeared unfazed by Tuchel's remarks, responding curtly, 'Yeah, well, whatever.' The Real Madrid midfielder had initially equalized just before half-time after Norway took the lead through Andreas Schjelderup, showcasing his ability to perform under pressure. England will now look to build on this momentum as they advance in the tournament.
