We examine how England's 1-1 draw with Uruguay has impacted Thomas Tuchel's plans for the World Cup, who has boosted their prospects and who now has an uphill battle to make the plane this summer...
When the England team was announced, one of the key decisions that perhaps got overlooked was the return of Harry Maguire to the England fold. But Maguire is used to that when turning out for his country.
This is a player completely underrated for the consistency of performance he has shown during England's most successful ever period of results. He was always the first name on the teamsheet for Gareth Southgate for good reason. And on his first start since 2024, it was like he'd never been away, coming up big in key moments in the match just like he has done throughout his England career.
He always offered a threat in the opposition box, played intelligent passes through the lines to set up attacks and even had time to ping a 70-yard pass into the path of Jarrod Bowen.
