England's World Cup Dream Frays as Tuchel's Bold Plan Meets a Frustrating End

England’s 2026 World Cup under Thomas Tuchel combined a unity-driven squad with high ambitions, highlighted by Kane and Bellingham, and a base in Kansas City.

No exit clauses were activated, Tuchel remains in place through Euro 2028, and an FA review looms as the campaign shifts from optimism to frustration as England prepare for a third-place play-off.
