😅 Say what!? Tuchel regrets not eating World Cup turf

Thomas Tuchel, the England coach, has expressed regret for not eating World Cup grass during a match against Mexico. This absurd statement comes from a documentary called "Reflections: England's World Cup Journey" released by the English Football Association (FA). In the documentary, Tuchel recounts his urge to have a bite of the grass, which he wished he could keep forever.

Despite playing with one player less for a significant part of the game, England managed to defeat Mexico 3-2 in a thrilling round-of-16 encounter at the Azteca Stadium.
