Facing squad shortages, the manager aims to lift spirits at Wembley on Tuesday. The team’s lackluster draw with Uruguay at Wembley is a cause for concern, reminiscent of England’s goalless start to the 1966 World Cup against the same South American side. Initially criticized, that outcome eventually led to glory when Bobby Moore lifted the Jules Rimet trophy. Opinions in international football change rapidly and England’s current standing isn’t ideal. They faltered against a robust Uruguay last Friday. Is it time to worry? Do these preparatory matches, which serve as learning experiences for Thomas Tuchel ahead of the World Cup, really matter in the long run? Often, friendly matches in March don’t reflect the true outcomes in June.
