Summary
The wait is finally over! England are ready to roar in North America and Thomas Tuchel has officially named the 26 men tasked with bringing it home—we’re breaking down the titanic announcement that happens once every 4 years on today’s talkSPORT Daily podcast! Adrian Durham is joined by talkSPORT’s lead England commentator Jim Proudfoot to react to the selection. We discuss the headline-grabbing inclusions and the brutal snubs. From the "wildcard" call-up for Ivan Toney to the stunning news that world-class talents like Phil Foden and Cole Palmer will be watching from home, we ask: has Tuchel got it right? We also hear directly from Tuchel himself who has been speaking at Wembley, PLUS, with the tournament just weeks away, Adrian and Jim put their necks on the line and pick their definitive starting XIs for the opener against Croatia. There’s SO much to discuss in the latest episode of the talkSPORT Daily podcast!
