Summary
The entire premise of Thomas Tuchel's appointment was that he was not Gareth Southgate, and the German serial winner was recruited - with plenty of excitement - to get the Three Lions over the hurdles that have haunted them in the previous five tournaments. On Wednesday night in Atlanta, a huge opportunity to reach a World Cup final for the first time in 60 years arrived, and, unfortunately for England fans, Tuchel inexplicably went full Southgate at the worst possible moment.
