After the battle against Argentina in the semi-final, England manager Thomas Tuchel described the Bronze Final against France as a tie “nobody wants to play.” He is not wrong.

Charlie Wood Jude Bellingham’s second brace in as many games fired England to a 2-1 victory over Norway, securing their place in the World Cup semi-finals. They will now face old foes Argentina, after the reigning champions edged past a 10-man Switzerland side 3-1, sealed by an incredible extra time strike from Julián Álvarez. The semi-final evokes memories of some of the most iconic moments in England’s World Cup history.

Charlie Wood England’s 3-2 victory over Mexico at the Azteca Stadium is arguably the nation’s greatest World Cup result since the highs of 1966. Thomas Tuchel’s squad battled through altitude, match delays, a hostile home crowd and the challenge of playing the final 30 minutes with 10 men to book a quarter-final clash with Norway.

Charlie Wood Led by Jude Bellingham, Harry Kane and a resolute defence, Thomas Tuchel’s England team progressed after a 3-2 victory over hosts Mexico at the Azteca Stadium. Two goals from Bellingham and a third from captain Harry Kane booked a spot against Norway in the Quarter-finals. The side had to overcome the altitude effect, the Azteca factor, the influence of uncertain weather conditions and more than half an hour with ten men following Jarrell Quansah’s dismissal.

Charlie Wood With the group stages coming to an end, teams, players and FIFA will leave North America with questions to answer. Here are ten of the biggest losers from the group stages of the World Cup. 1. Steve Clarke Many teams that appeared at World Cup finals have never progressed to the knockout rounds. Scotland stand alone as the only nation to have also never reached the knockout stages of their confederation’s continental tournament.

Ollie Stevenson For four years, it has been difficult to discuss English men’s cricket without Bazball entering the conversation. That was, initially, understandable. Coming out of the COVID period, England under Root had become difficult to watch. They were cautious, nervous, and more often than not seemed primarily concerned with not losing rather than trying to win.

Ollie Stevenson England fall short at Trent Bridge as New Zealand seal series victory England’s hopes of completing a remarkable comeback in the third Test ended in disappointment at Trent Bridge, as New Zealand secured a 160-run victory to seal the series 2-1. Chasing 373 to win, England were bowled out for 212 on the final day, with Jamie Smith’s 60 the only significant resistance after early wickets left the hosts with too much to do.
