The England national football team will likely have to adjust its preparation plans for the World Cup in the USA.

As reported by the media in that country, Thomas Tuchel's squad had planned to prepare for the World Championship at the "Sporting Kansas City" training complex in Kansas City.

However, these plans will have to be abandoned, as FIFA will insist on transferring the highly regarded base to the Netherlands national team.

The reason is simple: the Dutch will simply be playing their group matches closer to Kansas City.

The Netherlands team will play matches in Houston, Arlington, and Kansas City, while the English will compete in Dallas, Boston, and New Jersey.

Even with the Dutch relinquishing such a FIFA favor, the global football organization would again not allow the "Three Lions" team to triumph and would even offer this base to the Argentina team.
