In his debut match, Thomas Tuchel guided England to a dominant 2-0 victory over Albania in their World Cup qualifier, with Myles Lewis-Skelly making history as the youngest goal-scorer for the Three Lions. Early signs under Tuchel were promising, as England combined tactical discipline with attacking fluidity, setting an exciting tone for his tenure.

Meanwhile, the Nations League has reached its final four. Portugal advanced past Denmark with late heroics from Francisco Trincão, while Spain edged the Netherlands in a dramatic penalty shootout. Germany survived Italy’s comeback scare, and France staged a thrilling turnaround against Croatia to complete the semi-final lineup. All this and more, dissected on this week’s Just For Kicks
