England

[TheStig]

At last a German in charge of England....

It's a bit embarassing that a football nation like they like to call themselves can't produce 1 good coach and has to hire someone from their rival country. I think Tuchel could do good, he's pragmatic and good in tournaments.

Dude you need to get rid of your chauvinism for once.
You have suffered for decades because of it, and you still insist banging you head against the wall

The problem is not if one is German Argentinian or Scottish (FFS you even mention Scottish).
The problem is whether he is a good coach or not

Howe and Potter are good, but Tuchel is a tier above both
Throw some water in your face and wake up to the real world

In the real world a non-native manager has never won the World Cup. In the real world without "chauvinism", what is even the point of international football? To make money for FIFA?

You still seething about 1986?

Even Diego is dead. Let it go.

The rivalry comes from the Falklands, and is felt much more over there than here.

Fuck. England may actually win something with Touchbum.

No chance. They are perennial bottlers.

Must be a punch in the guts for many english fans watching their beloved three lions being coached by a german

 

[soul24rage]

Great appointment.

Excited to see how he does.

Not anymore.

 

[Maradona37]

Not anymore.

We'll see.

England was already on a good way, 2x in a row they reached EURO final.

With a Tuchel on the bench they would have won 1 of them.

No Southgate jokes anymore *cry*

Agreed. Our only hope is that he draws Germany and can't resist the ultimate heelturn.

Kane is through on goal, but suddenly you see Tuchel sprinting up the pitch with his chair.

Revealing his Germany top underneath.

Because no non-native manager was in charge of any NT with chances to win it, to begin with?
But thankfully times are a-changing...
Lesser NTs like Belgium and Portugal have already done it, and top coaches, like Nagelsmann and Poch already before Tuchel, have decided to go the NT way

I am sure you will be happy if England wins WC, and you will have forgotten all this
England can't win with an English manager, because you don't produce WC managers.
It's simple as that

Get over it

I thought by now England fans got used to foreign NT managers. Sven and Capello... besides there was a buzz one among Klopp/Pep is next in line.

I don't feel a German is the big issue, there are few of them managing in the top 2 tiers of English football and doing a good job. Bigger pride issue might be a Scottish guy taking charge due to the historic rivalry.

 

[Messigician]

What the fuck

Tuchel is immensely superior to all these second rate options.

This guy beat Pep's City in the CL final and went toe to toe with Flick's Bayern and probably would have won if Mbappe wasn't a complete donkey that day

Tru, alone beating Pep's City was immense but being better than Flick's Bayern was another masterclass work from Tuchel

It wont be easy for him to win WC but England will be way more dangerous now

Germany is also on a good way

We could see one of the greatest WCs in 2026!
