Pickford has been England’s No. 1 since his debut.
Japan defeated England 1-0 in an international friendly during the 2026 March international break. Kaoru Mitoma scored past Pickford in the 23rd minute, marking an end to an incredible clean sheet run for the English goalkeeper.
It had been 536 days since Jordan Pickford last conceded a goal in an England kit. The Custodian continued to deny any opponent from scoring a goal for that many days, which underlines his goalkeeping qualities for England.
The last time Pickford gave up a goal before this was while wearing an England uniform was when Lee Carsley’s team lost 2-1 at home to Greece in the UEFA Nations League on October 10, 2024.
Pickford is well known for his quick reflexes when making stops, but like all modern keepers, he is no longer just evaluated on his hand skills.
Jordan Pickford’s temperament has frequently been viewed as his biggest problem, although he has no evident weakness when it comes to keeping the ball out of the net.
Pickford remains Tuchel’s preferred option between the sticks for the Three Lions
Jordan Pickford’s longevity has been commendable, as the goalkeeper has been the first-choice for every head coach since making his England debut.
Pickford has remained the starting goalkeeper for England under Southgate, Lee Carsley’s and now Tuchel. It’s not surprising as the goalie continues to win the manager’s trust.
In his England career, he has played a crucial role in helping the Three Lions reach the Euro finals twice, first in 2021 and second in 2024. He will once again be playing a key role for them when the 2026 World Cup arrives in the summer.
It will be another chance for the goalkeeper to win a major trophy with the national team and also end England’s international trophy drought.
