Tuchel Regrets Not 'Eating Grass' After England's World Cup Win over Mexico

Tuchel said England’s 3-2 win in Mexico City showed a strong bond, with 10 men holding on after Jordan Henderson’s injury.

  • England manager Thomas Tuchel revealed on Tuesday he wished he had "eaten some grass" after the team's 3-2 World Cup victory over Mexico in Mexico City last summer to preserve the feeling forever.

  • The victory marked only the third time Mexico lost at the stadium in 90 competitive matches. "It feels like they are my players now," Tuchel said, reflecting squad growth.
  • England returns to action later this month hosting world champions Spain in the Uefa Nations League, with Tuchel set to name his squad on Friday.
  • Beyond the Nations League, Tuchel is focused on the 2028 European Championships, which will be co-hosted by England, aiming to carry current momentum forward.
