The England national football team, under the leadership of Thomas Tuchel, has been making headlines as they continue their impressive run in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. Tuchel’s squad has showcased remarkable form, winning all seven matches in Group K, scoring a total of 20 goals and impressively not conceding any.
As the team gears up for their upcoming match against Albania, coach Sylvinho has praised England’s formidable performance and noted the significant improvement they have shown. He humorously expressed his astonishment at the team’s statistics, calling them “disgusting.” Sylvinho remarked, “Unfortunately, I have to say they are stronger than six months ago.”
The Albania manager is not taking the challenge lightly, acknowledging the strength of Tuchel’s side, which kicked off their qualifying campaign with a 2-0 victory over Albania back in March. Sylvinho emphasized the confidence his players possess and expressed eagerness for the match, stating, “We are going to prepare something, try to score and have a great match.”
Albania has had a successful qualification journey as well, having secured a playoff spot after their win against Andorra, riding high on confidence from their performance so far. Sylvinho is clearly looking to make a competitive mark against one of the tournament favorites, recognizing England’s skill level while maintaining a positive outlook for his own team.
As the teams prepare to face off in Tirana, fans and analysts alike are eager to see how Tuchel’s England will match up against the passionate Albanian squad, setting the stage for what promises to be an exciting encounter.
