\u201cI\u2019m 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,\u201d Tuchel said after England beat Croatia 4-2<\/a> on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

During the playing of England\u2019s anthem, \u201cGod Save the King,\u201d Tuchel gestured toward the photographers \u2014 who assemble directly in front of the two benches during the anthems \u2014 attempting to get them to move. When that didn\u2019t happen, the German put his arm around his fellow staff members as they resorted to looking up at the stadium\u2019s jumbo screen to see their players.<\/p>
