England manager Thomas Tuchel was left feeling “a bit sad” after his side’s 3-0 victory over Wales at Wembley, but it wasn’t the team’s performance that got him down. Despite goals from Morgan Rogers, Ollie Watkins, and Bukayo Saka sealing an impressive win early on, it was the unyielding spirit of the Welsh fans that really made a mark.
Traveling in full force, the 7,500 Welsh supporters turned Wembley into their own concert hall, out-singing and outlasting the sparse English crowd. Even while their team was down 3-0, the Red Wall stayed electric, chanting and cheering all the way to the final whistle—tops off, voices loud!
In stark contrast, the home crowd seemed subdued, with corporate seats glaringly empty and fans trickling out well before the end. Tuchel didn’t hold back his disappointment, noting the eerie silence from England supporters despite the team’s commanding performance. “Our players deserved more,” he remarked, pointing out the lack of energy from the crowd even as England dominated the pitch.
On the other side, Wales manager Craig Bellamy took the defeat in stride, praising the game as a crucial test before their upcoming World Cup qualifier against Belgium. Bellamy emphasised the importance of high-pressure games for growth, saying, “We need to see where we are. It’s why I wanted this game.”
As the Three Lions continue to secure victories under Tuchel, the question lingers: will their fans rise to match the energy and passion of visiting teams like Wales? Or will the Red Wall’s fervour continue to steal the show, even on England’s home turf? Let us know your thoughts below! ⚽️👏 #WalesVsEngland #FootballFans #WembleyAtmosphere
