England Squad — 2026 World Cup
🏴 England at the 2026 World Cup
Three Lions in Group L · Croatia · Ghana · Panama
🏆 England’s World Cup Record
England have won the World Cup once — in 1966 on home soil under Alf Ramsey, beating West Germany 4-2 in the final. Since then, the Three Lions have reached the semi-finals in 1990 and 2018, and the final at Euro 2020. Under Thomas Tuchel, with arguably the most talented squad since 1966, expectations have never been higher for ending 60 years of hurt in 2026.
⭐ Key Players
📋 Group L — England’s Opponents
🇭🇷 Croatia (17 Jun) — A rematch of the 2018 semi-final. Croatia without the retired Luka Modric will be a lesser force, but Gvardiol and Kovačić remain dangerous. England will be motivated by that 2-1 defeat in Moscow.
🇬🇭 Ghana (21 Jun) — The Black Stars return after missing Qatar 2022. Mohammed Kudus is their key man. England should win, but Ghana’s physical presence will test Tuchel’s backline.
🇵🇦 Panama (25 Jun) — England thrashed Panama 6-1 in Russia 2018. A similar result here would secure top spot. Tuchel may rotate but will want to avoid complacency.
