Maguire opens up on 'awkward' Tuchel FaceTime call

Manchester United defender Harry Maguire has opened up on the "awkward" FaceTime call from Thomas Tuchel that ended his 2026 World Cup dreams. Despite suffering a contentious omission from the Three Lions squad, the veteran centre-back has firmly decided against retiring from international football as his country begins its campaign for global glory.

Is England's injury-prone & inexperienced defence good enough?

There are plenty of compelling reasons to suggest that England could win the 2026 World Cup. In Harry Kane, they have perhaps the best striker in world football at present. They also possess the best midfielder in the Premier League in Declan Rice, and an immensely shrewd tactician in Thomas Tuchel to help knit some of the most talented forward players in Europe together.

England, beware - 40-year-old Modric isn't done yet!

In the lead-up to England's semi-final showdown with Croatia at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, repeated references were made to the fact that Zlatko Dalic's ageing side had been taken to extra-time in their two previous matches.
