England are back in action tonight (Tuesday, June 23) at the 2026 World Cup in the United States, taking on Ghana in Boston in their second group game, with kick-off at 9pm UK time.

Thomas Tuchel’s side began their campaign with a confident victory over Croatia in their opening match, settling early nerves and putting them in a strong position to reach the knock-out stages.

The tournament, jointly hosted across cities in the US, has seen England based on the East Coast, where interest from ex-pats and travelling fans has been high as Tuchel bids to end the country’s long wait for another World Cup title.

Mr Clarkson has travelled over to Boston to watch the England game live tonight and has now given his thoughts on Tuchel, making a bold claim about the German coach.

Appearing on The Sun website’s exclusive football show from the US, Proper Football Daily, he said: “I loved the football England played against Croatia.

“And I understand his half-time talk was very motivational and very clever as well. I love Tuchel. I really love him. Do I wish he was English? Yes. But he isn’t, so we’ve got the best man to win it for us.

“Tuchel makes lots of changes to shock teams. I seem to remember that from Chelsea. You see how he plays one game and think, ‘OK, that’s how he’s going to play it’.

“And then the next time he doesn’t play the same type of way. It’s genius.”

The former Manchester United and England footballer and his Spice Girl wife have lived in Oxfordshire for around a decade.

The couple, who have a Cotswolds mansion in Great Tew near Chipping Norton, have been embroiled in a public family feud for some time now.

In January, this came to a head as their eldest son, Brooklyn, made explosive allegations in a lengthy Instagram post.

He claimed that his mother “hijacked” his first dance with his wife, Nicola Peltz, and danced “inappropriately on me” in front of their guests, adding that he had never felt more “uncomfortable or humiliated” in his life.

And he also alleged that his wife had been “disrespected” by his family and was not invited to his father’s 50th birthday party.

Now, Brooklyn is said to be “fuming” after his celebrity parents have issued public messages to him and his siblings to mark Father’s Day on Sunday (June 21).

An insider told The Sun: “He’s fuming about it. He’s asked them to leave him alone, and they just keep posting him.

“It just brings the whole thing up all over again. He wishes they’d leave it and leave him alone.”

Sir David had posted a photograph of his children on Instagram and said: “Being a dad is my most important job… I love you all and thank you, Mummy Victoria, for giving me our beautiful family.

“Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads around the world.”

Lady Victoria also shared a tribute on her own page as she wrote: “David, you truly are the best daddy.

“Your greatest achievement has always been our beautiful children, and we love you so much. Happy Father’s Day.”
