England Secures World Cup Spot with Dominant Qualifying Campaign

As of November 14, 2025, England has firmly secured its place in the 2026 World Cup finals with a flawless qualifying campaign. The Three Lions have won all 7 matches in Group K, scoring 20 goals without conceding any. They have kept 7 consecutive clean sheets, a testament to their defensive solidity.

Despite this impressive run, England manager Thomas Tuchel has criticized top nations for taking World Cup qualification "for granted." Tuchel believes that even when teams like England book their spot in the finals early, they should not become complacent. He emphasizes the importance of maintaining the team's work rate and effort, whether it's a crucial match or a game that no longer impacts their qualification.

England's latest victory came on November 9th, when they beat Serbia 2-0 at Wembley Stadium in front of 74,289 fans, their lowest Wembley attendance since September 2024. Goals from Bukayo Saka and substitute Eberechi Eze sealed the win, extending England's perfect record in the group.
