<p>Dan Burn has urged England to create a true &#8220;brotherhood&#8221; and emulate Argentina&#8217;s togetherness, if they want to find World Cup success.</p>
<p>England are among the favourites to win the World Cup this year, with only Spain (16.1%) and France (13%) given a higher chance by the Opta supercomputer (England&#8217;s chances are 11.2%).</p>
<p>The Three Lions qualified for the tournament with a 100% record in qualifying (eight wins from eight), and did so without conceding a single goal, giving them a strong platform to build on.</p>
<p>However, Thomas Tuchel has spoken about building a brotherhood among his players to boost relationships within the team, while Jude Bellingham hinted that a strong connection was missing from the squad on their run to the Euro 2024 final.</p>
<p>England begin their World Cup campaign against Croatia in Dallas on Wednesday, and Burn is keen for them to make a positive start, having worked hard to create a strong bond.</p>
<p>&#8220;Obviously, it&#8217;s hard for me to comment on what went on when I wasn&#8217;t here [in Euro 2024],&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>&#8220;But we&#8217;ve made a big thing about that since the very first camp we had together, about having this brotherhood and being together.</p>
<p>&#8220;I feel like a lot of the time, the team that end up winning tournaments like these are the teams who are close.</p>
<p>— England (@England) <a href="https://x.com/England/status/2065929729459294625?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 13, 2026</a></p>
<p>&#8220;If you look at Argentina at the last World Cup, you felt as if they were really fighting for each other.</p>
<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s what we&#8217;re wanting to do. I think it&#8217;s hard sometimes, you don&#8217;t see each other for a long amount of time, and you have quite superficial conversations.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s normally just like, &#8216;hi, how are you?&#8217; But it&#8217;s about trying to get to know each other on a deeper level.&#8221;</p>
<p>Tuchel gave Burn his first international call-up in March 2025, and he has since made nine appearances for England.</p>
<p>Though it is not yet clear how much of a part the defender will play on the pitch, he is looking forward to assisting in whatever way he can.</p>
<p>&#8220;Personally, for me, I just want to be here and help the team however possible that is: whether I start, whether I come on, whether I don&#8217;t play a minute, I&#8217;ll not feel I have contributed any less than anyone else,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think that&#8217;s important. I feel like this is the type of tournament where we have players who are the stars for their clubs normally, and they&#8217;re going to have to take a little bit of a different role.</p>
<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s leaning into that brotherhood thing again, where we are just happy for each other and happy to help out as much as we can.&#8221;</p>
