FIFA #10 Group L UEFA ENG

Background

England won the 1966 World Cup on home soil with Bobby Moore lifting the Jules Rimet trophy at Wembley, and have not reached a final since. Thomas Tuchel inherits a squad that lost two consecutive Euros finals (2020, 2024) and arrives in 2026 with the most experienced tournament core England have ever fielded.
