We didn\u2019t get any energy back from the stands. We did everything to win. What more can you give in 20 minutes? We didn\u2019t let them escape. If you hear just Wales fans for half an hour, it\u2019s sad because the team deserved more support today.<\/p>\n<p>I stand by this statement. We cannot do more than being 3-0 in a derby. I would have wished for a bit more support in phases where it gets difficult. In the second half to get behind us, there was a bit too much support for Wales. It could have helped us to regain energy, but it is what it is and that is it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Hmmm. How odd, picking a fight when there was almost none to be had. Anyway, we\u2019ll have lots of reaction from Wembley, including the actual football, as well as the eight other World Cup qualifiers around Europe (including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/football\/2025\/oct\/09\/world-cup-qualifier-group-c-scotland-greece-match-report\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Scotland\u2019s crucial victory over Greece<\/a> at Hampden) and preview the eight further qualifiers coming this evening.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Let\u2019s get to it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:?subject=Tuchel criticises \u2018silent\u2019 England fans, World Cup qualifying news and more: football \u2013 live&amp;body=https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/football\/live\/2025\/oct\/10\/tuchel-criticises-silent-england-fans-world-cup-qualifying-news-and-more-football-live?CMP=share_btn_url&amp;page=with%3Ablock-68e628b38f08e44a423590ac#block-68e628b38f08e44a423590ac\" type=\"button\" class=\"dcr-1mulgdf\">Share<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Key events Show key events only Please turn on JavaScript to use this feature Preamble You could hear&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":202494,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,596,85],"class_list":["post-202493","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-football","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/202493","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=202493"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/202493\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/202494"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=202493"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=202493"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=202493"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
