Tuchel's England Squad Selection

About this episode

Frank and Eddie analyze Thomas Tuchel's England squad selection for the upcoming FIFA World Cup and discuss various sports topics including the Premier League and Roland Garros.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup is fast approaching, and Thomas Tuchel has finalized his England squad for the tournament. Frank and Eddie analyze some of his selections. Eddie explains that he understands that the inclusion of Henderson, Madueke, and Gordon shows that Tuchel wants a squad that fits his system, but will it work? The Premier League season wrapped up with Arsenal as champions, Manchester City slipping up again, and Spurs narrowly avoiding relegation at the expense of West Ham. Roland Garros is underway in Paris, with some of the world’s top players on both the ATP and WTA tours protesting prize money, but Eddie thinks they’re being tone-deaf with some of their complaints. Plus, Hull beat Middlesbrough in the Championship playoff final following the controversy of ’spygate’. The Enhanced Games failed to deliver many world records, and would you go out of your way to attend a championship parade?
