Thomas Tuchel reflected on England's World Cup campaign in the new FA documentary 'Reflections: England's World Cup Journey'. The England boss revealed he wished he had eaten grass from the Azteca pitch after the team's victory over Mexico. England ultimately finished third after a semi-final loss to Argentina.

In the documentary, Tuchel sits with former England international Daniel Sturridge to look back on the tournament. England's standout performance came in the last-16 win over Mexico in Mexico City, where they played over 35 minutes with 10 men but prevailed 3-2. Tuchel joked about regretting not eating the grass to keep something from the match forever.

He also highlighted the team's unity after Jordan Henderson broke his arm during post-match celebrations, noting every player stopped to protect their teammate. The documentary will be released exclusively on the England app on Wednesday September 16. The build-up to the Mexico game was dominated by talk of the Azteca stadium altitude and potential weather delays.

Tuchel credited a calm energy from training together and meditation as key factors in the victory. He described the training ground as an oasis and introduced the line 'silence is powerful' to help the players focus. The team enjoyed five minutes of meditation and manifestation before the last whistle.
