Ex-Arsenal star: England have 'so many players better than Saka'

Former Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Petit has launched a scathing attack on Bukayo Saka, claiming the winger does not deserve to start for England at the World Cup. Despite the Gunners winning the Premier League, Petit believes the forward's form has dipped, managing 11 goals in 49 games this season.

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.
