The big questions for Tuchel's first England squad since World Cup
Before Thomas Tuchel names his first squad since the World Cup on Friday, BBC Sport looks at the big questions facing the England boss.
Nigeria’s women’s national football team, the Falconets, secured a 3-0 victory over England in their Round of 16 match at the 2026 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup held in Poland. The match took place at Stadion Miejski in Bielsko-Biała. Tosin Rafiu scored the opener for Nigeria in the eighth minute, followed by Seimeyeha Janet Akekoromowei doubling the lead shortly after halftime.
Mary Mamudu sealed the win with a goal in the 73rd minute, ensuring Nigeria’s place in the quarter-finals of the tournament. England had a chance to equalize with a penalty in the first half, but goalkeeper Christiana Uzoma made a crucial save, keeping Nigeria ahead. The Falconets, who topped Group F with four points after losing their opening game to Spain and drawing with China, will face the United States in the quarter-finals after England’s loss.
This win marks Nigeria’s advancement to the next round of the competition, as they pursue their first U-20 Women’s World Cup title.
