WC Countdown: Has this World Cup killed the term “Group of Death”?

For decades, the phrase “Group of Death” has been one of the most feared terms in World Cup football. It traditionally described a section packed with heavyweight nations, where at least one major contender was guaranteed an early exit. However, the expanded 2026 FIFA World Cup has changed that dynamic significantly. With 48 teams divided into 12 groups and multiple routes into the knockout stage, the margin for error is larger than ever before. While some groups are undoubtedly tougher than others, the tournament’s new format has arguably reduced the true danger once associated with the term.WC Countdown: The best players who are left out of the World CupWith the 2026 FIFA World Cup set to begin across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, attention is already shifting toward the tournament’s group-stage landscape.

Tuchel names Arsenal star as Kane’s deputy and England vice-captain

Ever since the 2018 FIFA World Cup, Harry Kane has been England’s undisputed captain and will wear the armband once again in the USA, Canada, and Mexico.However, the vice-captaincy remained up for grabs until recently, when Thomas Tuchel made up his mind.WC Countdown: The best players who are left out of the World CupWhile his predecessor, Gareth Southgate, was in charge, the role of the national team vice-captain was divided among several players at the 2022 World Cup, where Raheem Sterling, Harry Maguire, Jordan Henderson, and Conor Coady filled in for Kane, while Kyle Walker was the only deputy at the 2024 European Championship.This time, Tuchel opted for a traditional structure: one captain and one vice-captain. With Henderson the only one of those five players included in the current squad – and unlikely to play a leading role – the German tactician turned elsewhere and handed the position to a new leader – Declan Rice.Declan Rice is England’s vice captain for the World Cup 🌍 pic…
