Tuchel's rallying cry has sent a buzz through British households ahead of England's crunch World Cup tie against Mexico. The Three Lions' boss is urging parents to let their kids stay up and watch the 1am kick-off on Monday, acknowledging that this might just be the start of an unforgettable tournament adventure for young fans.
The Bayern Munich-bound Harry Kane proved why he's England's talisman with two late goals against a plucky Democratic Republic of Congo side in their previous match. Down by one after Cipenga's 30th-minute opener, Kane levelled the scores on 75 minutes and then sealed the deal for the Three Lions just three minutes later. This 2-1 win marked England's first World Cup victory after conceding the first goal since that iconic 1966 final against West Germany.
England's next assignment is a daunting one at the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City, where history has been made and broken on several occasions. The stadium's unforgiving altitude will pose a significant test for Gareth Southgate's men, who'll need to dig deep if they're to overcome this proud Mexican side.
Mexico are unbeaten at the Estadio Azteca in World Cup matches and haven't conceded a goal so far in the tournament. Tuchel is aware of these challenges but remains optimistic that England can pull off an upset, relying on their pre-tournament training sessions in Miami's balmy climate to help them adapt.
Kane was his usual composed self after the match, stressing the importance of staying patient and seizing 'hero moments' when they arise. The England captain then broke into a rendition of Oasis's 'Wonderwall', leading the fans in an impromptu sing-along.
