Former England manager, Fabio Capello, believes the Three Lions can not win the 2026 World Cup because they play with a lot of fear.

Speaking to the BBC, Capello also called on England manager Thomas Tuchel to ensure that the players are confident when the competition starts.

“Always the same, England arrive at the World Cup tired, and they play with fear,” Capello said.

“I remember the game against Italy, and then after 10, 15 minutes, they stopped playing. Long balls, and they played with fear.

“This is the problem for England – it’s tiring and fear. The manager, he has to cancel it.”

England are in Group L alongside Ghana, Panama and Croatia.
