"The result is fantastic, we're in the last four it's amazing, but we're not happy with the performance." He was asked in what sense? "In every sense. Again, the commitment is there but we made life very difficult for us in the way we played, how we played, Sloppy, lot of technical mistakes, not fast enough, not repetitive enough. We were lucky today." JPW — Jude Bellingham dragging England through World Cup Tuchel was then asked if the Three Lions were put off by the occasion of a World Cup quarterfinal. "It's not a mentality problem — this is pure mentality," Tuchel said. "How can you ask about mentality now? This is pure mentality, you can bottle it up and sell it. It's the quality of our games. That's it. It has nothing to do with mentality."
