  "account": "Thomas Tuchel remains confident that England can overcome the world's best, despite their recent defeat to Spain in a 3-2 loss on Saturday. The English team had led 2-1 at halftime but failed to capitalize on a Harry Kane penalty, which hit the woodwork. Two defensive errors by Marc Guehi and Nico O Reilly allowed Spain to score twice, with Mikel Oyarzabal sealing the victory. England's winless streak against top-ranked opponents stands at six in their last 16 matches. Tuchel emphasized that his team gave it their all to secure a win over Spain, attributing the defeat to a high number of clear mistakes and lax defense in the final 20 meters. The manager is determined to keep pushing the team, as they have demonstrated their capability to perform at the highest level during tournaments. England will now face the Czech Republic and Croatia in two consecutive matches over the next 10 days.",
  "summary": "Manager Thomas Tuchel says England made too many clear-cut mistakes in their 3-2 loss to a more composed and clinical Spain.",
