"While England might have initially failed to come flying out of the traps following Thomas Tuchel's official reign getting underway back in March, the Three Lions are certainly finding their feet under the former Chelsea boss. Storming their way to next summer's World Cup over in North America and not breaking a sweat, England officially punched their ticket on Tuesday night as they clinched a routine 5-0 romp away at Latvia."
"Completely omitted from Pep Guardiola's travelling squad for the Club World Cup over the summer and only featuring for one-minute in any of Manchester City's final five Premier League appearances last season, Jack Grealish certainly found himself at a major career crossroads. With Guardiola making it abundantly clear that their former £100million arrival would not be part of his plans for the 2025/26 campaign, City were desperate to push the ex-Aston Villa skipper out of the Etihad exit on either a permanent or temporary basis."
Thomas Tuchel assumed England duties in March and the team initially struggled to start but have since improved markedly. England qualified for the 2026 World Cup with a dominant run, winning all six qualifiers by an 18-0 aggregate and sealing qualification with a 5-0 victory in Latvia. Tuchel has faced criticism for several squad selections despite strong results. Harry Kane remains a guaranteed selection while many other Premier League players confront difficult competition for places. Jack Grealish experienced limited game time at Manchester City, was omitted from the Club World Cup squad, and moved on a season-long loan to Everton to revive his career.
