LONDON, Dec 6 — England coach Thomas Tuchel warned not to get carried away after yesterday’s draw for the 2026 World Cup placed his team in an apparently winnable group but left open the possibility of a hazardous run through the knockout phase.

The German was appointed with the task of leading England to a first major men’s tournament triumph in what will be 60 years since they won the 1966 World Cup on home soil.
