England left their best CB at home-Maguire and brought an injury prone Stones who can't defend. They also left home their best AM-Palmer and they are struggling to create chances in open play. They have started with Madueke and Gordon who haven't won a single 1v1 in the game.

🚨 It’s time Thomas Tuchel realized Harry Maguire is England best center back.

Told you we'd win

Mark my tweet. England is winning WC 2026 🦁🦁🦁 This is the year of the underdogs, Eng is gonna surprise everyone, coming on top with Kane winning the Golden Boot. Another reason is the Eng team have successfully faced trials to ensure Glory of lifting the trophy on July 19.

Can't wait to see England lift the World Cup 🦁 🦁 🦁 We're gonna walk through the opponents. #England    #Croatia    #Eng #kane #3lions #sports #FIFAWORLD26 #EngCro #Itscominghome #Kane #Harry #Tuchel #FIFA

🚨 NEW: Keir Starmer has refused to rule out a Bank Holiday if England win the World Cup "The last time we won the World Cup it was a Labour Government. And so it’s absolutely clear that we only win World Cups under a Labour Government"

The collective criticism around Arsenal’s use of set pieces during the domestic season was not only baffling because England would be using their set-piece takers at the World Cup, but also when England’s recent history with set pieces is taken into consideration. The 2018 World Cup run to the semi-finals is considered the revival of the England national team after their embarrassing Euro 2016 exit to Iceland, with set-piece goals playing a key role in that summer’s sense of euphoria. Those weeks saw the birth of ‘The Love Train’, as John Stones and Harry Maguire excelled at corners, seeing England end the tournament with 50 per cent of their 12 goals scored from set pieces. 📝 @ArtdeRoche, @ThomHarris_ and @MarkCarey93 🔗 nyti.ms/43DuePG

🚨⬇️ | Harry Maguire Tells All About 'Awkward' Thomas Tuchel England Snub FaceTime dlvr.it/TT48sl

If we're actually being honest he's significantly better than Burn and Chalobah, better than Konsa, not much in it between him, Guehi and Stones but Stones has barely played all season If he wasn't a United player the nation would be questioning why he's not gone

🚨🎙️Wayne Rooney has questioned Thomas Tuchel's decision to call up Trevoh Chalobah to England's World Cup squad before Luke Shaw: "It's a bit strange. I would have liked to have seen Luke Shaw. And then Djed Spence, maybe being cover for Reece James and Luke Shaw comes in." "I think, for me, Luke Shaw has been the most improved player last season for Man United." #MUFC

How are people seeing their arse with what he’s saying here? He is a big personality, he’s a leader, he steps up on big occasions. He’s pissed off and rightly so cause Tuchel shit out of giving him a proper reason for not taking him

🚨🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Harry Maguire explains how the conversations with Thomas Tuchel went, when he got told he won't be called up for the World Cup. "He FaceTimed everyone, It was quite an awkward call." "I received a text saying, 'Can I speak to you about 4pm?' It is quite a unique way of doing it and it must be quite hard because he can see everyone's reactions." "I said straightaway I was really disappointed. I thought I did enough to be in the squad and thought I could have helped and had a part to play on and off the pitch." "He said he can't give me an excuse but he had gone with the four lads who got him through the autumn." "It was tough to take. I thought I would be in the squad after being selected for the March camp under him for the first time." "I did really well in both games and then went back to Manchester United and finished the season really strongly." "I don't think I would retire from England." "I still feel I have something to offer. There will be a time and a place where I don't deserve to get picked but I probably still wouldn't come out and retire." "If I got one more cap it would be worth it."

Calling up Trevoh Chalobah as a reactionary injury replacement proves that England’s selection process under Thomas Tuchel is relying on personal favoritism and familiar faces rather than rewarding current form. Turning directly to a former player from his Chelsea days, instead of scouting fresh, elite talent across the league, shows a distinct lack of imagination and a reliance on a safe comfort zone. Is Tuchel already showing signs of club bias with the England squad, or is Chalobah genuinely the most qualified defender available on merit?
