Thomas Tuchel and England secure another World Cup victory as FIFA change protocol for national anthems – after Three Lions boss complained his view was blocked by photographers

England manager Thomas Tuchel has secured a victory off the pitch at the World Cup after he complained about being blocked by photographers ahead of last night’s 4-2 victory over Croatia. 

Tuchel was left upset that as the Three Lions sung the national anthem, he was swarmed by photographers, meaning he was unable to see his own players. 

‘I’m begging FIFA to change the position of the photographers, because I could not see my team [during] the national anthem, and I was waiting for this moment,’ he said after the game.

However, Daily Mail Sport can reveal that FIFA will change their pre-match protocol, and coaching staff will now move down the touchline so they can watch the national anthems.
