Cup Overview

Harry Maguire’s family has launched a scathing attack on Thomas Tuchel after the Manchester United defender was sensationally omitted from England’s 2026 World Cup squad. The veteran centre-back, who had been a cornerstone of the Three Lions' defence for nearly a decade, saw his international future thrown into doubt as the German tactician's uncompromising squad shake-up.

England manager Thomas Tuchel has offered a justification for dropping Chelsea playmaker Cole Palmer from his final 26-man World Cup squad. The German tactician stood firm on his strict anti-reputation selection policy, stating that the versatile forward had simply failed to perform at an elite level for the national team.

Thomas Tuchel has finalised his travel plans for England's upcoming North American venture by naming the fourth youth addition to his senior preparation camp. While some fans expected a sensational call-up for Max Dowman, the German tactician has instead put his faith in the Arsenal starlet's team-mate Ethan Nwaneri.

Former England defender Kyle Walker has admitted his shock after Thomas Tuchel omitted Phil Foden, Harry Maguire and Trent Alexander-Arnold from his World Cup squad. The trio were the headline casualties of Friday's 26-man selection for the tournament in North America, with Walker left questioning several of the manager's major tactical decisions.
