2018 FIFA World Cup Semi-Final
Croatia 2-1 England (after extra time)
FIFA World Cup 2018 Semi-Final Croatia eliminated England in the 2018 World Cup semi-final with a dramatic extra-time winner from Mandžukić. England had taken an early lead through Trippier's free kick but couldn't hold on. This remains a painful memory for English football.

England's identity crisis: control vs counter?
Tuchel inherited a squad built for counter-attacking speed — Saka, Bellingham, Foden — but with the tactical education to control possession. The World Cup will test which identity he commits to.
