A Gentle but Witty Response From the Fans

Just days after criticizing the lack of noise at Wembley, Thomas Tuchel received a response only the British could deliver. In the 5–0 win over Latvia, which secured England’s place at the 2026 World Cup, fans traveled in massive numbers and turned the stadium into a carnival of chants, flags, and laughter.

“Are we loud enough for you?” echoed thousands of voices, a playful jab at Tuchel’s previous comments following the friendly against Wales. His remarks hadn’t gone down well, but instead of hostility, the fans replied with good humor and unconditional support for the Three Lions.

Tuchel Takes It With a Smile

Far from being offended, Tuchel handled it with grace and humor. “They criticized me a bit, but it was quite creative. It made me laugh, and that’s how it should be. It’s British humor, and I can take it,” the German coach admitted with a grin after the final whistle.

Tuchel not only celebrated qualification but also praised the connection with a fan base that, despite ups and downs, never fails to show up when it matters most. “The support was fantastic, and I’m sure in America it will be just as amazing — we’ll need it,” he added warmly.

The Road to Another Passionate World Cup

With this win, England booked its ticket to the 2026 World Cup in style. The dominant 5–0 away victory in Latvia confirmed the team’s strength and proved that the fans are more alive than ever.

As always, English supporters are expected to be among the loudest and most passionate at the next World Cup. And if this episode proved anything, it’s that no criticism or misunderstanding can break the bond between a team chasing glory and a fan base that never stops singing — even when they’re laughing at their own manager.
