England claimed a 2-1 win over Norway in the quarterfinal clash at the ongoing FIFA World Cup 2026 on Sunday, July 12 at the Miami Stadium in Miami. However, the scorecard can not define the game, as it was fought with high spirits from both the sides.

Jude Bellingham's savage response to Thomas Tuchel

Despite the victory, England boss Thomas Tuchel was not happy with his side's performance as the game entered extra-time. Tuchel labelled England's performance as "sloppy", revealing he was not pleased with it.

After the game, Jude Bellingham, who dropped a match-winning performance for the second time in a row, he was asked to drop his opinion on German tactician's remarks. While dropping his own assessment, Bellingham said that Tuchel doesn't know what it feels to face tough opponents like Erling Haaland and Martin Odegaard.

“Maybe he doesn’t know what it’s like to play in those kind of conditions against Erling Haaland, [Martin] Odegaard, [Antonio] Nusa, [Alexander] Sorloth. That’s not an easy team to play against. So, I think we’ve tried to create a positive environment. You’re not going to win every game, popping the ball and making a thousand passes. Sometimes you have to win dirty, and we’ve done that again tonight," said Bellingham.
