England's Performance Under Tuchel
England began their World Cup qualifying campaign under new coach Thomas Tuchel with a 2-0 victory against Albania. The match was characterized as neither exhilarating nor disappointing, reflecting a controlled and somewhat flat performance against a weaker opponent.
