England Faces Right Back Puzzle Before Norway

England's defensive display in the second half against Mexico was, by any measure, magnificent. Thomas Tuchel's side played 47 minutes with ten men after Jarell Quansah's red card and still conceded almost nothing, a defensive performance Sky Sports rated among the most impressive of the entire tournament for England. But the reward for surviving Azteca Stadium is a reality check: Norway in Miami on Saturday, with a right-back position that remains a genuine puzzle for Tuchel to solve.

Two days to switch off

England's players were given two days off after Mexico City to recover, both physically and mentally, from everything that win had taken out of them. Tuchel told the squad to forget about football entirely and spend time relaxing with friends and family. According to Sky Sports, the players did exactly that around their hotel, sunbathing, visiting a local coffee shop, and making use of a nearby lake and park. Tuchel himself was seen cycling nearby, alongside Dan Burn, the defender who emerged as one of the heroes of the Azteca Stadium rearguard action.
