Just did a few TV interviews and was asked if there's tension in the England squad due to the post-match interview at the Miami stadium – the answer is no.

Firstly, players live in a "bubble" largely isolated from the intense online debates.

Secondly, last week players openly stated – especially after Stones and Rice playfully teased Tuchel in the changing room – that they admire Tuchel and praised his emotional intelligence.

Thirdly, players know that any comments from Tuchel about improvement are clearly for the good of the team, and he is raising the team's standards.

Fourthly, England players are well aware of how close they are to making history, and nothing will deter them from this mission.

Fifthly, if anyone is upset by a few fair criticisms, they shouldn't be in the dressing room of such an elite team.

In the history of the England team, some head coaches have glossed over problems, but Tuchel is not like that. He identifies problems, develops solutions during the game, and then discusses them publicly after the match. He is straightforward and honest, possessing a demanding and winning mindset, just like Bellingham.

This is precisely why England has a chance to beat Argentina – the elite mentality possessed by Tuchel, Bellingham, Kane, and others. They inspire each other, pushing the entire team forward together in a week that could define their lives and historical status.
