  "textContent": "\n\n\n\nEngland manager Thomas Tuchel and defender Harry Maguire launched a scathing attack on referee Sven Jablonski following the Three Lions' draw with Uruguay at Wembley.\n\nThe match, which served as England's second-to-last fixture before Tuchel selects his World Cup squad, was marred by contentious officiating decisions in the second half.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nBoth Tuchel and Maguire were incensed that Barcelona's Ronald Araujo escaped punishment for a dangerous challenge on Phil Foden.\n\nThe England boss also took aim at a late penalty awarded against Ben White, telling ITV: \"Yeah because it's not a penalty, I'm sorry.\"\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nTRENDING\n\nStories\n\nVideos\n\nYour Say\n\nMaguire echoed his manager's frustration, describing the spot-kick as \"ridiculous\" and \"a real, real soft penalty.\"\n\nThe challenge from Araujo on Foden was described as potentially leg-breaking, yet Jablonski took no action against the defender.\n\nTuchel questioned why VAR failed to intervene, saying: \"How is this not checked by VAR? And then they're checking the last bit where the referee made very, very clear he saw it and it's nothing... then they check and it's given.\"\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nMaguire expressed disbelief at the lack of punishment, stating: \"You don't see tackles like that that don't get red cards. A couple of months to the World Cup and we've got referees allowing tackles like that.\"\n\nFurther confusion arose when Manchester United's Manuel Ugarte appeared to receive two yellow cards without being dismissed.\n\nThe fourth official offered a bizarre explanation, claiming the second booking had been rescinded, before it was later suggested the initial caution had actually been shown to teammate Jose Maria Gimenez.\n\n### LATEST SPORTS NEWS:\n\n\n\n\n  * Gerwyn Price releases furious statement after Luke Littler Premier League defeat\n  * Thomas Tuchel 'disappointed' as England fans boo Three Lions star in Uruguay World Cup warm-up\n  * Imane Khelif shares video that speaks volumes after IOC move to protect women\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nWhite experienced a rollercoaster evening on his first England appearance in four years, having previously stepped away from international duty following a disagreement with former assistant manager Steve Holland.\n\nThe Arsenal defender found the net in the 81st minute, only to then give away the penalty from which Federico Valverde equalised in stoppage time.\n\nWhite's introduction was met with a mixed response from the Wembley crowd, with some supporters booing the defender as he entered the pitch.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nTuchel addressed the reception, saying: \"I think it was a mixed reaction, some cheered, some booed. I was not even aware of it but people told me now.\"\n\nThe manager added: \"I hope so [that this has turned a page for him].\"\n\nDespite the controversial conclusion to the match, both Tuchel and Maguire were full of praise for White's contribution.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nMaguire defended his teammate's actions in the penalty area, insisting: \"Ben just goes to try and block the shot. It's not a tackle, it's not malicious. There's going to be contact in the box.\"\n\nThe Manchester United captain added: \"I thought he was brilliant when he came on.\"\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nTuchel acknowledged White may have been overly aggressive in his defending but maintained the decision was wrong, saying: \"He's a bit maybe too tough, too greedy in his defensive actions. But still I think it's not a penalty.\"\n\nMaguire also highlighted White's positive influence during the training camp, noting he had brought \"great energy\" and worn \"a big smile on his face\" throughout the week.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n**Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter**",
