World Cup 2026: Is England’s third place under-appreciated?

England in the year She must find the management and imagination to somehow take her to a place she hasn’t known since 1966.

Tuchel has built a side with plenty of physicality in the Premier League image, built around two world-class players – Bellingham and Kane.

So far, however, there is no clear idea or pattern of how to quickly shape up and actually win a tournament ahead of Euro 2028.

And of course France and Spain face each other in those Euros.

Tuchel must find a way to make England stronger and stronger, less one-dimensional, and at 16 he can develop the talents of Liverpool’s 17-year-old striker Rio Ngoumoa and Arsenal’s Max Dowman.

The head coach appeared to have let off the brakes on Saturday’s game against France (admittedly a low-pressure game) and his team returned from the game with six goals in attack.

However, clouds still hang over how England will solve this conundrum after another collapse – and the pressure is on Tuchel to come up with the answers.
