England’s Nations League surge helps heal World Cup wounds
Harry Kane scored twice at Wembley on Tuesday, as England beat the Czech Republic 3-0, taking their tally to 14 goals in four matches.
England's Nations League surge has begun to mend the wounds of their disappointing World Cup exit, as Thomas Tuchel's side trains for a potential home Euros in 2028. Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham, Anthony Gordon, and Bukayo Saka have been instrumental in England's free-scoring start in the competition. Kane, who scored twice at Wembley, matched Peter Shilton's men's record of 125 caps, and England took their goal tally to 14 in four matches.
Tuchel, who entered the international window after the World Cup, aimed to shift focus after criticism over his defensive tactics during the semi-final loss to Argentina. The first Nations League match against Spain ended in a 3-2 defeat, but there were encouraging displays. Kane and Bellingham led England to the final four in North America, while Gordon and Saka complemented the duo with impressive performances.
The England boss is likely to avoid repeating his World Cup error, as his star front four now appears unbreakable, as they aim for a major tournament victory in 2028.
