England manager Thomas Tuchel believes his team will receive karmic justice at the Azteca Stadium on Sunday, four decades after Diego Maradona's infamous 'Hand of God' goal. As England prepare to face 2026 World Cup co-hosts Mexico in the last-16, Tuchel is backing his players to banish the ghosts of 1986 and finally make peace with the iconic venue in front of a hostile home crowd.

Kyle Walker has responded to Wayne Rooney's suggestion that the former England full-back should have been considered to play at the 2026 World Cup. The Manchester City icon was flattered by his old team-mate's remarks, but firmly stands by his decision to step aside and let the younger generation play.

Former Manchester City and England defender Micah Richards has heavily urged Three Lions boss Thomas Tuchel to drop Arsenal winger Noni Madueke for the country's World Cup round of 16 clash against Mexico. Insisting that England's attacking fluency has hit a major roadblock, Richards argued that Bukayo Saka must immediately return to the starting lineup.

The 2026 World Cup is underway as those still in contention fight it out for the universally coveted trophy. While the collective prize is the main objective for all competitors, some are already making their claim as the best player of the entire tournament. Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe are currently the top candidates, but they face intense competition as we go further into the knockout rounds.
