Donald Trump joined the chorus of criticism over Thomas Tuchel’s defence-minded approach against Argentina as the United States president questioned the England manager’s “unusual” use of his golf buddy Harry Kane.
The inquest into Wednesday’s late 2-1 World Cup semi-final collapse to their bitter rivals is well under way, with fans and pundits alike panning the head coach’s tactics and substitutions in Atlanta.
In a World Cup event at Trump Tower in New York, the US president surprisingly joined those questioning Tuchel as England ready themselves for Saturday’s unwanted bronze medal match against France rather than the final against Spain.
Trump was particularly puzzled by the way the German coach utilised captain Kane, who revealed last week that they had played a round of golf together around 18 months ago in Florida.
“You have a great player in England, who I played golf with,” Trump said in a press conference. “You know that, right? He is Harry, who’s been fantastic.
“I think they perhaps made a mistake when they made him a defensive player. What do I know about soccer? They took the lead, and they took their best player and put him on defence.”
Gianni Infantino laughed alongside Trump, with the Fifa president shrugging and then applauding his remarks.
President Trump continued: “We have got to be a little offensive, right? But, no, I am not going to call it.
“Look, what do I know about coaching? But that was a little unusual, but Harry is a great guy, actually.” |  | | |  |

To be fair, Trump does know all about being offensive. |  |

Didn't say which Harry though, could be mixing Kane up with Redknapp.
Just thought I'd bung that one in... |  |

What does Trump know about coaching ? Well he obviously knows about tackling, as according to him the US player sent off and then allowed to play was just two great athletes who crashed into each other and got entangled.
The fact that the tackle could have broken the other players leg seemed neither here nor there to the president.
Yes a large majority agree that Tuchel made a massive error in expecting England to hold out against Argentina for over half an hour.
We beat Mexico having lost a player, but the quality of balls Mexico put into our box were nowhere near the quality of Argentina's. | | | |

I saw that. Inappropriate and cringeworthy in my opinion. [Post edited 18 Jul 16:17]

Pretty sure it’s coming back to the US in 2038. Apparently that’s what putting that one game in Uruguay was all about in terms of rotation. |  |
