England manager Thomas Tuchel has said that he believes the country’s 2026 World Cup draw is tough. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, being in the same group with Croatia, Ghana and Panama gives no margin for complacency, so he is expecting very tough group stage fixtures.
Tuchel added that while Ghana does not carry the global star power of Croatia, no team can be underestimated in Group L.
His words, “We have Croatia and Ghana, two regulars in World Cups, and we have Panama. I don’t know much about Panama, but we will know everything about them when the tournament starts. For me personally, even in the Champions League, you have to focus on the group – the group is always the most difficult, and we want to escape, and we want to win the group. It’s a tough one.
No one should be underestimated. Of course, Croatia is the standout name [and] the highest-ranked team from Pot 2 that we got into our group. It’s a difficult opener against Croatia. We take it from here.
While Ghana may not carry the global star power of Croatia. Ghana is always full of talent and can always surprise, and has a big history in World Cup football. Also, Panama will try to make the most of the underdog role. No one can be underestimated – everyone deserves the fullest respect, and we will show that.”
WOW.
