Stones Fools Tuchel With Classic Fake Injury Prank

England's victory over Mexico has already produced one moment that will live long in dressing-room folklore. According to Sky Sports, defender John Stones staged a fake shoulder injury during the post-match celebrations, pulling off the prank on a visibly startled Thomas Tuchel.

The clip, shared on the England national team's official account, captures the kind of loose, joyous atmosphere that tends to travel alongside a squad in genuine good form. Tuchel's reaction made it all the more entertaining.

For a team carrying real injury concerns in other positions, the ability of the squad to keep things light is arguably just as important as any tactical preparation. England now turn their attention to Norway and the prospect of a semi-final place.

It is the sort of behind-the-scenes moment that reminds fans these are real people under real pressure, finding laughter where they can.
