England hired a German coach to end 60 years of hurt, but ended up losing in the semi-final, similarly to earlier years. The English media was predictably critical of coach Thomas Tuchel after Wednesday's 2-1 loss to Argentina. 

Tuchel, a title-winning coach with Borussia Dortmund, Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea and Bayern Munich, was hired to put a second star on England's jersey and end the decades-long wait for a first trophy since the World Cup in 1966. Former England captain Gary Lineker raised the question about Tuchel's future, saying he was 'brought in specifically to take us over the line.'
