Summary
MIAMI, July 19 (Bernama-Xinhua) -- England manager Thomas Tuchel hailed the "unbelievable" resilience of his squad on Saturday after England secured its best World Cup finish in 60 years, overcoming France 6-4 in a thrilling bronze-medal match, reported Xinhua. However, Mainoo was not even named as a substitute for the game against France, with the Football Association confirming before kick-off that the 21-year-old was absent due to injury. The manager was criticised by public following the semifinal loss earlier this week. "The press conference yesterday felt as if we went out in the group stage, but 24 hours later, we have the biggest success in sixty years.".
Furthermore, Tuchel's decision to overlook Mainoo throughout the World Cup has been widely criticised, particularly after England's 2-1 defeat in the semi-final to Argentina.
