EnglandSummary
Generated byEngland's 2026 World Cup campaign is over, and the mood around the squad is one of pride mixed with genuine frustration. A third-place finish, secured through a chaotic 6-4 victory over France at Miami's Hard Rock Stadium, represents a step forward from recent tournaments but falls well short of the final that so many believed was within reach. Harry Kane described the squad as being in a "grieving stage" after the semi-final defeat to Argentina, and that sense of what might have been hangs over the entire camp.
The bronze medal match itself produced extraordinary individual moments. Bukayo Saka scored a hat-trick despite being dropped for the semi-final, a decision Thomas Tuchel has since defended, while Jude Bellingham became the first Englishman to score seven goals at a single World Cup. Declan Rice captained the side and set a new appearance record. Yet the win over a disorganised France side has done little to quiet the debate around Tuchel's methods. He was booed by sections of the crowd and faced pointed questions about his tactical choices, including the semi-final omission of Saka and the controversy surrounding Kobbie Mainoo, who ended the tournament without a single minute of action amid claims he was asked to fake an injury to avoid the bronze match.
Tuchel has spoken defiantly about "next steps" for his project, and Kane has publicly backed him to continue. Off the pitch, Harry Redknapp has warned the Football Association against pursuing Pep Guardiola as a replacement, calling it a potential disaster. England return to action in the UEFA Nations League at Wembley against Spain on September 26.
