"I think it's a very complex group, a very difficult group but, OK, it is what it is."
"Croatia certainly have the ability to upset England early on at next summer's tournament, but Tuchel will surely feel his team have enough in them to get past Ghana and Panama, even if they won't exactly be pushovers. England were seeded, so have avoided other big names like France and Spain in the group stage. Still, those are the kinds of teams England will have to take on at some point, and they shouldn't have too much to fear as one of the favourites to go all the way in the competition."
"Gareth Southgate did a fine job with England and was unlucky not to pick up a trophy for his efforts, so Tuchel will have been appointed to take the country a step closer. The German tactician has the experience of winning major silverware, having lifted the Champions League at Chelsea and the Bundesliga at Bayern Munich."
England have been drawn in Group L alongside Croatia, Ghana and Panama for the 2026 World Cup. Thomas Tuchel described the group as very complex and difficult but accepted the draw. Croatia are seen as a dangerous opponent capable of upsetting England early, and the opening match could effectively be a knockout-style fixture. England are seeded and avoided other heavyweights such as France and Spain in the group stage. Tuchel brings major-winning experience, including a Champions League title with Chelsea and a Bundesliga title with Bayern Munich. England possess world-class talents and remain among the favourites for the tournament.
