England, Ghana eye last 32 as Portugal look for lift-off

A day after Argentina and France sailed into the last 32, England face Ghana in Group L knowing that victory will see them safely into the next phase of the tournament. England launched their campaign last week with a stylish 4-2 win over Croatia, a result that has given the Three Lions camp fresh belief as they chase a first major championship win in 60 years. With captain Harry Kane scoring twice and Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham netting, England midfielder Declan Rice believes Thomas Tuchel’s squad should be a match for any team in the tournament. Rice said Monday the challenge for England will be reproducing the swashbuckling attacking display that marked their second-half performance against Croatia. “We know as players the level, we know what’s required, and that second-half performance was probably the benchmark for us in terms of having to start the game at that level,” Rice said. “We believe that if we can do that from the opening minute, with the players that we also have to come on and finish the game, we can beat any opponent in the world. “We want to be confident in our abilities and what we can do on the pitch.” England’s German manager Tuchel meanwhile says his team are already embracing the pressure that comes with a World Cup campaign. “There are emotions involved and you can at some point feel the tension and feel the pressure.
