LONDON, March 28, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Thomas Tuchel said he had "learned a lot" from England's scrappy 1-1 draw against Uruguay at Wembley on Friday even though many of his star players were watching from the stands. "I learned a lot, because it was a tough opponent and you just see it in the details," he said. "If you play against (Manuel) Ugarte, if you play against (Federico) Valverde in midfield, you see the level. Tuchel said the match against Marcelo Bielsa's Uruguay, who have also qualified for the World Cup in Canada, Mexico and the United States, had been "the test that I expected". Tuchel, whose England side are among the favourites to win the World Cup, said the players coming in for the Japan game would have to "re-learn our principles".
