England fans dream of the 2026 FIFA World Cup being the tournament where football finally comes home, but the Three Lions must first build on a positive opening Group L match, with another against Ghana in Boston.
Thomas Tuchel’s men showed in their thrilling win over Croatia why they are among the leading contenders for the trophy with a thrilling attacking performance in Dallas, as Harry Kane’s first-half double and post-break goals from Jude Bellingham and substitute Marcus Rashford secured a 4-2 victory. The only concern was a defensive fragility punished by Croatia, who equalized twice before the break, Marc Guehi pushing to open the scoring. Another victory secures England their place in the last 16, but they must avoid any temptation to look beyond their opponents today.
On a six-match winless run, Ghana needed one last winner to beat Panama 1-0 in their opening match, as Caleb Yirenkyi appeared five minutes into second-half injury time to spare their blushes against a nation yet to earn a World Cup point. However, tournament football is all about getting the job done, and experienced manager Carlos Queiroz – who appeared in his fifth consecutive World Cup – knows that better than anyone. The former Man Utd manager is one of several familiar faces in the Black Stars line-up, with Man City striker Antoine Semenyo, Leicester City duo Jordan Ayew and Abdul Fatawu and Coventry City striker Brandon Thomas-Asante among their options in attack.
