Chief football writer at Wembley Published 6 hours ago Thomas Tuchel talked about England having to "embrace the chaos" as they embarked on recovery from the crushing disappointment of World Cup semi-final defeat by Argentina.

As England took those first steps on the road to rehabilitation against reigning world and European champions Spain in the Nations League at Wembley, head coach Tuchel learned the brutal lesson that chaos without control is a loser's strategy at elite level.

Spain do control, not chaos. And this is why they are serial winners and England remain a nearly team without a major men's success since the 1966 World Cup.
