England soccer manager Thomas Tuchel was not happy after his team punched their ticket to the World Cup semifinals on Saturday with a 2-1 win over Norway.
In Tuchel’s postgame interview with Fox Sports, he lamented his team’s mistakes and appeared combative with the interviewer.

“The way we played, how we played, sloppy, lot of technical mistakes, not fast enough, not repetitive enough, we were lucky today,” he said.
Tuchel then got into a heated back-and-forth with the interviewer over a question about the team’s mindset, as he insisted the team’s issue was not due to “mentality” but “quality.”
“Overall, we got lucky today,” he later repeated.

England star Jude Bellingham scored in the third minute of extra time to lift England to the win.
Bellingham’s goal was his second of the match after he also found the equalizer late in the first half. The Real Madrid star is now tied with England teammate Harry Kane for six goals in the tournament, trailing only France’s Kylian Mbappé and Argentina’s Lionel Messi, who have eight apiece.
England will advance to the semifinals to play the winner of Argentina vs. Switzerland on Wednesday.
