England sweeps the board to qualify for the 2026 World Cup
The English team won all their matches and didn't concede a single goal. A dominant campaign.
England national team... made a splash in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers and redefined Yugoslavia's record from 1954. Obviously, now the important and difficult things begin for the England national team. It didn't happen that they qualified for the 2026 World Cup, but whatever their qualification, the first in days Thomas Tuchel, came in... unparalleled style.
The
Three Lions completed the qualifying process with a victory in Albania (2-0) and made history. In this way, they not only made the "absolute", 8/8 in their group, but they did it with a goal difference of
22-0, without even conceding a goal!
They became the first team to achieve such a feat in World Cup qualifiers since 1954 and broke Yugoslavia's "haunted" record. In fact, they... redefined it, since at that time the Yugoslavia had achieved something similar in four matches.
The England national team did it in twice as many games and left promises for the future. We remind you that in its group it faced Albania, Serbia, Latvia and Andorra.
It is worth noting, however, that the last goal that the Three Lions conceded was from Greece in that... blue-and-white "double" in London in October 2024.
