Ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup tournament next year, former Chelsea defender, Frank Leboeuf has rated four countries ahead of the Three Lions of England.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leboeuf believes the likes of Spain, Portugal, Argentina and France are ahead of England, adding that they are not at the same level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Frenchman spoke after Harry Kane led England to defeat Albania 2-0 in their World Cup qualifier clash in Tirana on Sunday evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m really fond of Thomas Tuchel,\u201d Leboeuf told OLBG. \u201cHowever, I believe a big footballing country like England doesn\u2019t need a German coach to win the World Cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt would have been difficult for me to accept, purely from a cultural perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat is why I\u2019d say, \u2018wait and see.\u2019 It\u2019s why I rank Portugal, Spain, Argentina, and France ahead of England.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t see England at the same level as the others right now,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
