That is entirely on Tuchel. The players gave everything, but that was a tactical catastrophe — wrong shape, wrong subs, wrong priorities. England dumped out by a team that kept playing football when England had stopped
Not saying that game was stolen from Egypt but it is now on display at museum in London.
Classic. This Danish road safety advert is more accurate than quite a few Viking films & tv shows... and photo shoots... ;) But above all, it's very, very funny: youtu.be/pD-f45TbvEw?...

Not saying it's looking bad for him, but in a Leicester car park right now...
Well her sense of political timing remains as exquisite as ever.
