Thomas Tuchel’s England completed a historic World Cup qualifying campaign with a 2-0 victory over Albania. The Three Lions became the first European nation to win at least six World Cup qualifiers without conceding a goal, a feat achieved through relentless focus and tactical discipline.

England dominated possession with 76% but struggled to create clear chances in the first half. Tuchel’s side, featuring Harry Kane, Declan Rice, and Jude Bellingham, remained resolute defensively, preserving their clean sheet record.

Kane’s late double sealed the win, extending England’s unbeaten run in World Cup qualifiers to 39 games. This historic achievement underscores Tuchel’s demanding approach and the team’s collective determination.

As England prepares for the 2026 World Cup in the USA, Mexico, and Canada, they stand as one of the most formidable teams in the tournament.
