Tuchel Claims World Cup Refereeing ‘Not Good Enough’ But Says England Have Belief to Go All The Way

Thomas Tuchel has expressed his concerns over the standard of refereeing at the World Cup, labeling it as ‘unreliable’ and ‘erratic’. Following England’s thrilling 3-2 victory against Mexico, Tuchel emphasized the need for improved officiating, particularly after his team had to navigate the latter stages of the match with only ten players. Despite the challenges, he believes the win at the iconic Azteca Stadium has galvanized the squad’s confidence, insisting they possess the belief to compete for the trophy. Tuchel's frustrations highlight a growing concern among teams regarding inconsistency in officiating, which could impact the tournament's integrity. England’s performance, however, showcased their resilience and determination, traits that Tuchel argues will be vital as they aim for World Cup glory.
