The Football Association chose Thomas Tuchel to make big decisions. They wanted him to make tough choices.

Tuchel does not care about players' reputations. He makes decisions based on what is best for the team.

With 26 players, Tuchel could have picked some based on their potential. But that would have been an easy way out.

Choosing players for the national team should be about rewarding hard work and good performances. Phil Foden and Cole Palmer have not been great this season.

Players need to be in good form to be chosen. Cole Palmer has only been involved in one goal in his last 16 games.

Foden has not played well for England. Morgan Gibbs-White might feel more upset than Foden or Palmer about not being chosen.

Gibbs-White is unlucky, and so is Adam Wharton. But Tuchel has many good players, so it was hard to choose.

Harry Maguire said he was shocked and sad to not be in England's World Cup team.

Jordan Henderson will be a leader in the team. He will help keep discipline and motivate players.

Tuchel thinks he needs a player like Henderson. He also chose Ivan Toney, which was a bold decision.

Toney has scored 42 goals and helped his team with 10 assists. He is also very good at taking penalties.

Ivan Toney is one of Tuchel's most surprising choices.

Many people think Harry Maguire should have been chosen. But Maguire was upset and said so in public.

Maguire has played well sometimes, but Tuchel did not always choose him. Maguire should not be surprised he was not chosen.

Tuchel looked at Maguire in training and decided he was not the best choice. That is okay.

It was a straightforward decision. The FA pays Tuchel to make tough choices.
