Tuchel's England: Winners and Losers - A Closer Look at Saturday's Match

Reece James and Thomas Tuchel

England kicked off their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign with wins over Albania and Latvia. New manager Thomas Tuchel praised the team's performance, particularly the efforts of Reece James, Myles Lewis-Skelly, and Eberechi Eze, who each scored their first England goals. James, who played his first England game since September 2022, staked his claim for a starting spot with a standout performance and a stunning free-kick goal. Lewis-Skelly and Eze also impressed in their respective positions. However, Tuchel admitted that there are still question marks regarding the team's options at center-back and on the wings. Kyle Walker and Trent Alexander-Arnold will likely compete for the right-back spot when they return from injury.
