Bronze medal boost confidence for England, says head coach

Securing third place marks England's best finish since their 1966 World Cup triumph, and Thomas Tuchel believes the bronze will lift the squad's confidence moving forward. The match in Miami featured a dominant first half, a tense second period, and a final surge that left the French side trailing.

Despite cramps and exhaustion affecting several players, the English camp stayed focused. Tuchel noted that while the team faced longer journeys and hotter climates than France, their preparation and mental resilience allowed them to overcome adversity and finish on a high note.
