“This looks like a Scotland trial match”: Roy Keane criticizes England after Panama game
Roy Keane has criticized the English national team's performance after the 2-0 win against Panama.


Former Ireland and Manchester United captain Roy Keane has harshly criticized England coach Thomas Tuchel after the 2-0 win over Panama in the group stage of the 2026 World Cup. Keane complained that the constant changes in the team's squad were not an advantage.
"The best players only came in the second half. The opponent was very weak, so you could criticize England if they didn't win, but they won. However, the coach is constantly mixing things up. I don't think he has any idea which line-up is the best. That's bad. Players are also constantly being changed in defense. There's something missing, there's a lack of intensity. If you play against a team that's much worse in terms of level, then you're playing at their level. The best players in England "The key to any team's success is the end product and that looks like a trial for Scotland at the moment," The Sun quoted Roy Keane as saying.
England are top of Group L with seven points after three games and will face DR Congo in the round of 16.
