When Does the World Cup Start?
Thomas Tuchel wants England to avoid Germany at the 2026 World Cup due to their historic rivalry and tough matches, after England's flawless qualifying record.
- Ahead of the Washington draw today, Tuchel urged that Germany is the team England should avoid at the 2026 World Cup, which takes place in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
- Tuchel, a German by birth, said England view Germany as their biggest rival since the 1966 World Cup final and facing them adds emotions and pressure to his role.
- England and Germany have met 35 times, with England winning 14, and under Tuchel, England won all eight qualifiers scoring 22 goals without conceding.
- Group rules limit matchups by confederation, as no group can have more than two European teams and the top two plus eight best third-placed teams advance, shaping England and Germany’s tournament path.
- The tournament features 104 matches, mostly staged in the USA, starting June 11 in Mexico and ending July 19 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
