London to Lisbon and back every game: England rack up the World Cup miles

England's decision to set up base in Kansas City has resulted in them traveling more than any other team in the World Cup, covering an enormous cumulative distance. While playing Mexico at altitude in the Estadio Azteca was a challenge, the real concern is the extensive mileage, which could impact player fatigue and performance. This logistical choice underscores the complexities teams face in balancing preparation and travel during international tournaments, raising questions about the long-term effects on player well-being and team dynamics.
