England's football team was robbed.

Ahead of their opening match of the 2026 World Cup against Croatia on June 18th, the England team were shocked to discover that much of their training equipment and important belongings had been stolen by thieves.

Before even starting their match, the England team was robbed.

England's preparations for the 2026 World Cup have run into major problems. According to the Daily Mail , several pairs of boots belonging to England's stars, the official World Cup ball, and some important training equipment have gone missing.

The incident reportedly occurred when the shipment was being transported from West Palm Beach, Florida, to the England team's headquarters in Swope Soccer Village, Missouri, where the team will be based for at least three weeks.

The theft incident forced the coaching staff to urgently check all remaining equipment to ensure the training plan was not affected. However, Coach Tuchel and his players certainly don't want the incident to impact their morale ahead of the crucial match against Croatia.
