In a Washington DC ballroom, England's footballing fate for the 2026 World Cup was revealed — a group that asks them first to confront the ghost of 2018 before advancing toward greater ambitions. Drawn alongside Croatia, Panama, and Ghana in Group L of an expanded 48-team tournament spanning three nations, Thomas Tuchel's side enters as favorites burdened by history and buoyed by recent form. The draw is a reminder that sport rarely offers clean slates — only new chances to rewrite old endings.
