‘Can the King not step in?’: Angry England fans hit out at Thomas Tuchel’s leaked World Cup squad with Three Lions boss set to confirm controversial snubs of Harry Maguire, Phil Foden and Cole Palmer

Angry England fans criticized Thomas Tuchel as the Three Lions boss today confirmed his controversial selections for this summer’s World Cup.

Tuchel will appear before the media at Wembley Stadium and announce the 26 players he believes can deliver the country’s first World Cup in 60 years as they travel to the United States for the biggest tournament on the planet.

But in a chaotic turn of events, Tuchel’s decisions were leaked on Thursday night and Harry Maguire confirmed he had been overlooked despite a strong finish to the season with Manchester United.

The decision sparked outrage in the Maguire family, with his mother Zoe taking to X to reveal she was “absolutely disgusted” by Tuchel’s snub. The defender’s siblings also shared their anger on social media.

But this is not the only controversial decision that Tuchel is expected to approve today; It is understood that Phil Foden, Cole Palmer, Lewis Hall, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Morgan Gibbs-White were also left at home.

Foden and Palmer have featured for England in previous major competitions, but their poor form this season has seen them underrated, while Forest star Gibbs-White has arguably been the standout player in his position – scoring 17 goals and providing seven assists for his club.

Fans shared their thoughts on social media and the consensus was overwhelmingly against Tuchel.

Content creator Tom Garratt wrote of X: “Saying no to Lewis Hall borders on treason.” “Can’t the king intervene?”

‘When you really think about it,’ Rory Jennings said, ‘it’s a shame that Thomas Tuchel is England manager, it’s a national shame.’

@Gideoomatic said: ‘Tuchel has somehow managed to unite the entire English fanbase, quite impressive actually.’

‘Tuchel has lost his mind,’ said another fan. ‘So what?’

Another user shared: ‘This is the Thomas Tuchel England squad’, along with a picture of many types of beer on tap in a bar.

@Ellis_ added: ‘Gibbs-White has been England’s best attacking midfielder this season and has also been left out of the squad.

‘Were Tuchel and the English coaching staff drunk when they made the squad selection?’
