England national team 2026 World Cup campaign

Overview

The England national football team's 2026 World Cup cycle began with individual selection controversy, specifically the omission of defender Trent Alexander-Arnold. Alexander-Arnold described himself as ‘completely devastated’ by the decision made by manager Thomas Tuchel, stating he was ‘desperate to play for England’.

Following the tournament, Tuchel reflected on the team's performance in the Football Association documentary ‘Reflections: England’s World Cup Journey’. He noted a historic 3-2 victory against Mexico and a third-place finish after defeating France. However, he expressed regret over the semi-final loss to Argentina, describing the defeat as a permanent ‘scar’ and noting that tactical shifts left the team feeling as though they were ‘waiting for death’.
