Thomas Tuchel says 99.9 per cent of England fans do not discuss substitutions or tactical decisions from the World Cup. Instead, supporters talk about where they watched matches, the atmosphere, and shared experiences. Tuchel highlighted the win over Mexico, the nerves during the DR Congo match, and the team's bronze-medal victory over France as moments fans remember most.

He said the World Cup should connect people with unforgettable experiences and that the players' efforts were felt across the country. Tuchel faced criticism over his substitutions during England's 2-1 semi-final defeat by Argentina, when he introduced three defenders before Enzo Fernandez equalised and Lautaro Martinez completed the comeback. He believes fans focus on positive memories rather than late-game tactics.

Tuchel also revealed he knew before the Mexico match that he would continue as England boss beyond the tournament. He stressed the third-place finish was England's best since 1966 and said the FA's feedback showed what the players built truly meant something.
