Thomas Tuchel said England would dare to dream of glory at the World Cup next summer and could achieve it if they brought a fighting attitude, as he prepared for the draw in Washington DC on Friday.
The head coach is more confident of victory now than he was when he took over at the start of the year, having got to know the players better and sailed through qualification with eight wins out of eight and eight clean sheets. He believes the public are behind him and the team and his mood was bullish before the draw.
