Why it matters

Winning claims top spot and easier knockout opponents. For Tuchel, it proves his Euro 2028 tactics work against elite teams.

In Australia. No direct Australian effect, but Australian football fans follow England's path toward co-hosting Euro 2028.

Tuchel calls Sunday's match in Madrid a 'final', a chance to test the methods he is building for Euro 2028.
England beat Croatia 2-1 on Thursday to stay alive for top spot, which brings easier opponents in the March quarter-finals.
Now comes the real test: Spain, the world and European champions, unbeaten for nearly two years.
Spain have won 12 straight games and conceded just a handful of clear chances.
Tuchel wants England to attack them, impose physicality, and play with the same intensity that almost beat Spain at Wembley earlier this month, when England led 2-1 before a missed Kane penalty changed the flow.
He is confident they can do it.
'No one is unbeatable,' Tuchel said.
