Thomas Tuchel has made a bold and controversial decision by naming a 35-man England squad ahead of the FIFA World Cup — but what’s the thinking behind it?

In this episode, we break down Tuchel’s selection in detail, looking at the biggest surprises, notable inclusions and omissions, and what this larger squad could mean tactically.

We also explore:

•  Why Tuchel might be preparing differently to previous England managers 
•  The potential advantages of a larger squad 
•  Whether this signals uncertainty or smart planning 
•  England’s chances heading into the World Cup 

Is this a calculated move that could give England an edge — or a sign of confusion before the biggest tournament in football?
