President
Trump, speaking at the White House with the World Cup trophy nearby, criticized
Thomas Tuchel for shifting Harry Kane into a defensive role late in the match,
echoing fan and pundit complaints about the back-five switch that let Argentina
rally.
Tuchel
owned the call, saying it countered Argentina's momentum amid fatigue from a
tough schedule, but vowed a strong response against France for bronze in Miami.
The loss stings as a scar, yet semis mark England's best run in 60 years under Tuchel.
