Thomas Tuchel's short tenure as England manager is by design – but is it starting to become a problem?
So what has Thomas Tuchel learned from England's two exhilarating June fixtures against Andorra and Senegal? That, as England manager, you're liable to get booed whether you win or lose? That, ultimately, it's really hard to get even the most motivated footballers up for a couple of extremely low wattage games at the end of a long, tiring season? That he's got a whole heap of work to do before the World Cup in exactly a year? Advertisement Or maybe that he would have been better off not taking the job in the first place? There were plenty in the City Ground stands for the broadly dreadful 3-1 defeat to Senegal on Tuesday that would have agreed with him there. At the end, there was a pretty sad, understandably perfunctory tour around the pitch by the England players to applaud the few fans that had remained. The manager had already been booed down the tunnel, one disgruntled attendee bellowing 'TUCHEL OUT'. Was he regretting the whole thing? Are the FA regretting the whole thing? Or, perhaps a more nuanced question would be: are they all regretting how they have gone about the whole thing? Tuchel signed an 18 month contract when he took the job, starting in January this year. At the time, he explained the relatively short-term deal by saying it was 'important for me to have a frame around it because it's a little bit of a step into the unknown for me', and 'to understand that this is something that can really excite me to the fullest.' Aside from deciding whether he fancied it or not, he also said it would help the team to 'focus.' It's also worth remembering, without wishing to re-litigate one of autumn 2024's more irritating strains of discourse, that Tuchel himself contracted the time he'd have by electing not to start his job until January. There is a certain logic to the length of the contract. International coaches tend to work in cycles around international tournaments, and this one takes him to the end of the World Cup. But usually those cycles are at least two years, and a tenure this fleeting is starting to look like more of a problem. The manager will inevitably favour short-term solutions. Teething problems become outsized because they comprise a bigger proportion of the whole. There's less time to fix things. If it's a longer term project, there's more scope to get away with poor performances like this one, or the one against Andorra. Advertisement If you want to think of it another way, Tuchel has taken charge of four games so far. There are five more World Cup qualifiers. One friendly is already inked in, and let's say there will be another four before the World Cup, assuming England qualify. So that's probably 14 games, for him to go from never managing an international side before, taking on the weight of expectation and nonsense that comes with the England job and succeeding a manager that reached two European Championship finals and a World Cup semi-final, to his own World Cup. Would you expect a club manager to have things sorted after 14 games? There are different rules, different timescales for international managers, but unless you're Massimo Cellino, it would be absurd to expect results after such a small amount of games. So England were bad against Senegal. Really bad, in fact. Timid and incoherent in spells, defensively open, lacking in creativity, particularly in the first half. 2 – This was only the second time ever that England had opened the scoring in a home game and then gone on to lose by 2+ goals, after another 1-3 defeat in June 1995 versus Brazil. Collapse. — OptaJoe (@OptaJoe) June 10, 2025 It clearly shouldn't be ignored that while England were bad, Senegal were excellent. They were more dynamic, more certain in their movements, more creative, more clinical. The FIFA world rankings put them in 19th place. They are, most definitely, a good team. After the game, Tuchel asked everyone not to panic. 'We lost a test match,' he told the media. 'We have played three qualification games, we have nine points and and not conceded. We don't go next week to the World Cup. We go in one year.' He's right. A lot can happen in a year. But the implication there is that those things are going to be good things, and furthermore that things will change. A year to go then. What things need to change? One is, it seems pretty clear that it's time to say goodbye, farewell, and thanks for all the caps to some of England's old dependables. Jordan Henderson started against Andorra, and while you can't draw too many conclusions based on just that game, a broader view tells you that there isn't really any need for him anymore. England's best midfielders are Declan Rice and Jude Bellingham. If you need someone else to do their running, there's Conor Gallagher. If you need someone else to sit, allow them to roam free and pass them the ball, there's Adam Wharton. Advertisement He was phased out by Gareth Southgate and didn't go to Euro 2024, but Tuchel brought him back. Aside from the intangibles of experience, leadership and so forth, which aren't insignificant things — but also not enough on their own — it's hard to see why. Then there's Kyle Walker. It would be harsh to pick on any one individual from the performance against Senegal, because most of them were bad, but Walker took the spotlight in terms of moments of badness. He was responsible for Senegal's first goal, slow off the mark to allow Ismaila Sarr to force home. On TV, Roy Keane said Walker was lazy, but that feels slightly unfair: it wasn't so much a case of Walker being able to do something but not wanting to, more wanting to do something and not being able to. He has clearly declined over the last year, sent out on loan to Milan by Manchester City, who will not be taking him to the Club World Cup. He's not the same player, which isn't a moral failing or even really his fault: he's a 35-year-old full-back whose pace has been one of his key assets. It happens. There was a harsh contrast with the player he faced most directly, Walker given a fierce chasing for the first hour of the game by Senegal's thrilling young left-back El-Hadji Malick Diouf, who did to him what he did to ageing opponents, once upon a time. The frustrating thing is that there are plenty of alternatives to Walker, admittedly with question marks over many of them. Reece James has spent a lot of this season — a lot of his career, really — injured. Trent Alexander-Arnold has rarely been especially convincing for England. Tino Livramento is inexperienced. Ben White has made himself unavailable for the national team, although that could change. But the point remains that Walker is not there because he has to be, because otherwise the cupboard is bare. Tuchel defended Walker after the game, but perhaps in the coming months he will quietly realise that Walker's time has gone, too. Advertisement There are three months before England's next games, a qualifying double header against Andorra and Serbia. Five months before the end of the qualifying campaign, against Albania in November. A year before the World Cup. It's not a lot of time to fix things. But it is worth remembering that this was by Tuchel and the FA's design. (Header photo:)

A step too far? New Club World Cup set to have far-reaching impact on football
UEFA Champions League finalists Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan will be among the sides taking part in the Club World Cup (Marco BERTORELLO) FIFA's expanded Club World Cup which gets underway in the United States this weekend is a controversial addition to the global football calendar and one that could have a far-reaching impact on the sport in the years to come. The 32-team tournament, with one billion dollars in prize money on offer, has been crammed into an already overloaded schedule leading to concerns it will push elite players to breaking point. Advertisement It also threatens to upset the balance of domestic and continental club competitions, giving competing teams huge financial advantages over rivals. Consider the leading clubs in Europe, which is sending 12 teams including Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid, Manchester City and Chelsea. The chances are high that some will go deep into the Club World Cup, with a maximum of seven games to be played up to the July 13 final. The riches on offer are extraordinary, up to a possible $125 million for the top-performing European team. "The Club World Cup model affects the ecosystem of national leagues, especially in Europe," Javier Tebas, the president of Spain's La Liga, told radio station Cadena Cope. Advertisement But while the likes of Liverpool and Barcelona will not be in the United States and so will miss out on the cash prizes, they will be able to give players a much-needed rest. "I think it will have a huge impact and it will give Liverpool and Arsenal a huge advantage in the next season to not be there," said England manager Thomas Tuchel when asked about the consequences for the Premier League. - Lavish sums - Those clubs are already among the world's wealthiest without taking into account the sums being lavished by FIFA, but what about teams elsewhere. It will become harder for clubs in South Africa to challenge Mamelodi Sundowns once they leave with a guaranteed minimum of almost $10 million -- the equivalent of the prize money for winning nine domestic titles. Advertisement The amateurs of Auckland City already dominate in Oceania before being handed over $3.5 million just as an appearance fee. But if taking part here will be perhaps the ultimate career highlight for their players, it just adds to the demands on those at top clubs. The introduction of the competition was met with opposition in Europe, and global players union FIFPro has warned that the wellbeing of many of its members is being threatened by the huge workload they face. - Too many games? - Portugal midfielder Vitinha has played 52 matches for PSG this season, including the Champions League final win over Inter Milan on May 31. Advertisement There have also been eight games for Portugal, including the Nations League finals last week. Now he is off to the United States with PSG, with potentially no holiday until mid-July. The next French season is then due to start in mid-August, at the same time as the Premier League and La Liga. And at the end of next season Vitinha should be back in North America with Portugal at the expanded 48-team World Cup. Such demands on leading stars are why player unions in Europe last year raised the threat of strike action in a bid to cut down on the number of matches. "The problem is the accumulation of excessively long and intense seasons back to back," said Maheta Molango, chief executive of England's Professional Footballers' Association. Advertisement "Players don't think just about the summer, they think about how they are not going to have a holiday for the foreseeable future." Meanwhile, domestic leagues do not see why they should change to accommodate FIFA's new tournament. "International organisations and especially FIFA have increased the number of matches they organise, so now we have a calendar that is beyond saturation," said Mathieu Moreuil of the Premier League. Other competitions are being devalued because the Club World Cup is taking place at the same time, like the CONCACAF Gold Cup, also being played in the United States. Advertisement USA coach Mauricio Pochettino is unable to call on leading players like Weston McKennie and Timothy Weah because they are at the Club World Cup with Juventus. "That is the circumstance that we have and we need to adapt," said Pochettino, the former PSG coach who may disagree with the view of Luis Enrique, currently in charge of the French side. "I think it is an incredible competition," he remarked looking ahead to the Club World Cup. as/jc

Club World Cup Fantasy: How does the game work and what are the best strategies for success?
No summer tournament — even an expanded, revamped FIFA showpiece like the Club World Cup — is complete without an accompanying fantasy football game. For those fantasy addicts who have no desire to give themselves a few months off from Fantasy Premier League and the like, Club World Cup Fantasy, the official game run by FIFA, will be taking place during this summer's 32-team competition in the United States, allowing managers to compete while signing players from Real Madrid, Inter Miami and Wydad. Advertisement So how does Club World Cup Fantasy work? How do the rules differ from FPL and what are the best tactics for success? Holly Shand explains… Similarly to FPL, you have a budget of $100million to use to pick a squad of 15 players. It's the usual combination of players required here: two goalkeepers, five defenders, five midfielders and three forwards. Managers then select a starting XI in a valid formation with a minimum of three defenders, three midfielders and one forward, with four players on the bench. Managers also receive unlimited transfers before the tournament kick-off as well as ahead of the start of the round of 16, the knockout stage of the competition. Managers will receive two free transfers before Matchday 2 and Matchday 3, which still sit within the group stage, with the ability to carry one of those transfers over into the next group-stage matchday. For the knockout stages, managers receive four free transfers for the quarter-finals, five for the semi-finals and six ahead of the final. Any transfers above that allocated number of free transfers deduct three points from your total. Points are scored across a variety of metrics, including goals, assists and clean sheets. The scoring matrix is broadly similar to FPL but with some differences. A player who wins a penalty receives two points while a player conceding a penalty loses a point, with a goalkeeper penalty save worth three. Clean sheets are given more prominence: defensive players are rewarded with five points for a clean sheet and penalised one point for each goal conceded after the first goal. Defensive midfielders have a greater purpose in this format of the game, with one point gained for each three tackles made, while their more creative counterparts can earn a point for every two chances created. Forwards with an eye for goal earn one point for every two shots on target. Advertisement There's no traditional bonus point system like in FPL but if a player scores from a direct free kick, they gain an additional goal point and there are also extra points available for differential players — if you have a player who is in less than five per cent of teams and they earn four or more points in a match, they will receive an additional two points. This could lead to greater variety in defensive choices! In the group stage, you may only select three players per club, with this increasing by one during each knockout stage and capped at eight per club for the final. Ahead of the knockout phase of the competition, your budget increases by $5million to account for higher player values for the remaining clubs — player prices are fixed and won't fluctuate throughout the tournament. Unlimited manual substitutions are permitted through a matchday to utilise bench players providing that player hasn't played yet, so it's important to invest in a full squad of starters: not just your starting XI. When initially setting your starting line-up, this should be chosen by the day each player plays, with those featuring earlier in the matchday selected first, with a view to substituting them if they have underperformed. Be mindful of time zones and timing of games here, especially if you're not based in the U.S., since it may not be practical to make substitutions during the day of the 'matchday'. With this in mind, try to pick goalkeepers who play on different days and ensure you log in at least once each day to make manual substitutions where required. As with FPL, your selected captain will score double points. However, as we've seen in UEFA and FIFA fantasy competitions in the past, captaincy can change an unlimited number of times during a live matchday, as long as the new selected captain is yet to play. Advertisement Given this, it's important to forecast several captaincy options for the upcoming matchday and decide on a points return that you would be prepared to stick with. This threshold may decrease as the matchday progresses, where twisting can become riskier. With this in mind, managers might look to build a strong attacking front seven to increase the captaincy options across the matchday and at some points, it may even be viable to captain a defender, giving you multiple bites of the cherry. The challenge is being able to stay on top of captaincy changes while the matchday is live, especially given the timing of some of the games if you aren't in a U.S. timezone, so for some, it may only be viable to have one captain option per day. There are four chips — this game calls them 'boosters'— available for Club World Cup fantasy: Wildcard, 12th Man, Maximum Captain and Mystery Booster. The Wildcard allows you to make unlimited changes within a specific round and is perhaps most powerful to use in one of the group stages of the competition. It is the only booster which cannot be cancelled once activated. Meanwhile, 12th Man allows you to select one additional player to score points for your team in a matchday — this player cannot be substituted, captained or transferred, and so this chip should be used with caution. This is a player who isn't already part of your squad, with team or budget restrictions not applying in this instance. Maximum Captain is a particularly powerful booster, allowing you to get double points from whichever player scores the most points from your starting XI. This is likely to be more powerful during the knockout stages of the competition, where results are less predictable and there are fewer opportunities to change your captain pick. Finally, there's a Mystery Booster which will be revealed and available going into the knockout stages of the competition. Each booster can only be used once, and only one can be used each matchday. Advertisement In Group C, Bayern Munich are the clear favourites to progress in a group which contains underdogs Auckland City, who they face in Matchday 1, as well as Boca Juniors and Benfica. Meanwhile, Chelsea are the big favourites in Group D, although their easiest fixture comes in Matchday 3 against ES Tunis, at a point where they may already have qualified for the knockout stages. Elsewhere, Inter Milan have an appealing opener in Group E against Monterrey. In Group G, Manchester City have a plum opener against Moroccan team Wydad and Juventus also kick off with an enticing fixture against Al Ain, with these two teams not facing each other until Matchday 3. Real Madrid have the easiest group on paper, facing Al Hilal, Pachuca and RB Salzburg in Group H. They could be a key side to triple-up on from the off. The four most expensive players in the game are all forwards priced at $11million: Harry Kane, Erling Haaland, Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe, with Lionel Messi coming in slightly cheaper at $10.5 million. Looking at the opening fixtures, Real Madrid's Vinicus Jr and Mbappe appear to be the key targets for Matchday 1 teams, while there's an early opportunity to use the 12th Man booster on Haaland for this round of games. Paris Saint-Germain's Ousmane Dembele ($10.0m) is the most expensive midfielder in the game but has a tricky opener against Atletico Madrid. I'd be more inclined to back Cole Palmer ($9.6m) for Matchday 1 against Los Angeles FC or Real Madrid's Jude Bellingham ($9.3m). Having made an early switch in the transfer window from Liverpool, Trent Alexander-Arnold ($6.4m) is among the premium defenders to back from the start, coming in $0.1 million cheaper than the most expensive option in PSG's Achraf Hakimi ($6.5m). Denzel Dumfries ($6.3m) will also be an important early pick from Inter given his high positioning on the pitch, which often translates to attacking returns. I was looking forward to a break from fantasy football over the summer but the format of this game has got me intrigued! Advertisement I think the beauty of fantasy games for international tournaments is that it gives you specific interest in matches you wouldn't normally watch and also provides a great opportunity to get to know players from different clubs, especially from sides outside of Europe, who might be less familiar. If you plan to watch the tournament avidly, then this fantasy game could provide the perfect accompaniment. I particularly like the scoring matrix for the tournament, with the bonuses available for differentials, which should go hand-in-hand with the higher rewards on offer for clean sheets. For those managers taking the game seriously, it will be important to stay abreast of the schedule and timings, setting alarms to make manual substitutions and captain changes between each game in order to maximise points. Engaged managers should be richly rewarded!
