Maguire's awkward Tuchel FaceTime chat

[Getty Images] Harry Maguire has revealed England boss Thomas Tuchel told him his World Cup dream was over on a FaceTime call. Maguire's omission from Tuchel's 26-man squad was one of the most contentious and led to a stinging rebuke from the Manchester United defender at the time as he said he was "shocked and gutted". Speaking on Gary Lineker's Rest is Football World Cup podcast, Maguire says he still believes he should have been picked – and revealed the method Tuchel chose to deliver the bad news. "He FaceTimed everyone," said Maguire. "It was quite an awkward call. "I received a text saying can I speak to you about 4pm. It is quite a unique way of doing it and it must be quite hard because he can see everyone's reactions. "I said straightaway I was really disappointed. I thought I did enough to be in the squad and thought I could have helped and had a part to play on and off the pitch. "He said he can't give me an excuse but he had gone with the four lads who got him through the autumn. "It was tough to take. I did think I would be in the squad after being selected for the March camp under him for the first time. I did really well in both games and then went back to Manchester United and finished the season really strongly." At the age of 33, Maguire accepts he probably will not get the chance to play in another World Cup. However, he has been in touch with long-standing friends in the England camp, including skipper Harry Kane, midfielder Declan Rice and goalkeeper Jordan Pickford to wish them good luck. And, despite the setback, and the knowledge Tuchel will lead the team into Euro 2028, Maguire will not quit the international scene. "I don't think I would retire from England," said Maguire, who won his 66th cap in the friendly defeat to Japan in March. "I still feel I have something to offer. There will be a time and a place where I don't deserve to get picked but I probably still wouldn't come out and retire. "If I got one more cap it would be worth it."
