England's World Cup Prep Hits Rough Spots

from Belfast News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

England edged out New Zealand in a chaotic World Cup warm-up, but coach Thomas Tuchel wasn’t impressed—calling the first half “freestyle” as players wandered from their usual spots. Harry Kane netted the winner just before halftime, as Tuchel swapped the entire squad to give everyone minutes. Despite shaky chemistry, sweltering heat, and a bumpy pitch, the team avoided injuries and got crucial exposure to intense conditions. Next up: Costa Rica. New Zealand’s English-born coach Darren Bazeley admitted England’s performance needs serious improvement if they hope to challenge for the World Cup title.
