Tuchel expressed regret about not eating grass after the match against Mexico, which England won 2-3. In a statement, he said: "I'm sorry I didn't do that." The match saw Jarell Quansah receive a red card just after halftime. Tuchel also reflected on the moment when Jordan Henderson broke his arm during the World Cup festivities. The players of The Three Lions showed empathy towards Henderson, forming a shield to protect him and staying with him until he received medical attention.
Tuchel praised the team's reaction, saying: "If you needed any proof of what this meant to these players and how they interacted with each other, that was the moment when Jordan fell and broke his arm. Within a second, the players were there, every player was there; they stopped, formed a shield, protected Jordan, went nowhere, full of empathy. It was so special." Despite the team's third-place finish at the World Cup, the English Football Association still has trust in Tuchel. The Three Lions will face Spain, Czech Republic (twice), and Croatia in the upcoming international period.
