Thomas Tuchel says England are ready to take the next step in their World Cup preparations as his side take on Costa Rica a week out from the curtain-raiser against Croatia.
June 18 : When England players lined up to sing their national anthem before their World Cup opener against Croatia, they shared the moment with thousands of their fans at the Dallas Stadium, who sang aloud and waved flags.
KANSAS CITY, Missouri, June 18 : By the time the Daily Star had crowned them the "Dallas Wow Boys", England had already lived up to their World Cup billing, and it was a few pointed words at halftime from Thomas Tuchel that helped turn promise into something far more emphatic.
Gary Lineker celebrated Harry Kane equalling his World Cup goals record for England by branding the Bayern Munich talisman the “greatest English striker we’ve ever had”.
Tim asuhan Thomas Tuchel berhasil meraih kemenangan 4-2 dalam laga yang berlangsung di Dallas Stadium, Kamis (18/6) dini hari WIB. Dua gol Harry Kane serta satu gol dari Jude Bellingham dan Marcus Rashford cuma bisa dibalas oleh Martin Baturina dan Petar Musa.
ARLINGTON, Texas, June 17 : Thomas Tuchel praised his side's ruthless response to a chaotic first-half performance as England opened their Group L campaign at the World Cup with a 4-2 win over Croatia in Dallas on Wednesday.
ARLINGTON, United States: Harry Kane scored twice in the first half as England eventually saw off Croatia 4-2 to launch their World Cup title assault in Texas on Wednesday. Jude Bellingham, immediately after half-time, and substitute Marcus Rashford with five minutes to go ensured a winning start for Thomas Tuchel’s side after Croatia had fought back to level at 2-2. The prolific Kane twice put England ahead in the first half — one a retaken penalty — only for Martin Baturina and Petar Musa to hit back for 2018 runners-up Croatia. With both sides shaky at the back, the second half threatened another goal glut, Bellingham needing just two minutes to put England ahead again in front of a crowd of 70,000. England had numerous chances to extend their lead immediately after, but did not take them until Rashford popped up. The meeting was a repeat of the 2018 semifinal, which Croatia won 2-1 after extra-time, although England have since had the edge against one of the older squads at the tournament in North America. Thomas Tuchel’s side, bidding to deliver England a first major trophy since 1966, made a nervy start in front of a packed house at the impressive air-conditioned home of the Dallas Cowboys. Then the drama came. Croatia’s talismanic captain Luka Modric dangled out a leg and caught Noni Madueke in the box. Kane saw his unconvincing penalty saved by Dominik Livakovic, only for French referee Clement Turpin to order a retake after video replays deemed the stopper had come off his line. Turpin once sent off Tuchel in the Champions League and the referee taking charge of the game had been highlighted by English media this week.
June 17 : Harry Kane’s feat of equalling of Gary Lineker’s England World Cup scoring record with two goals in Wednesday’s 4-2 win over Croatia shows the captain is going into the tournament with all guns firing.
England will face Croatia in a marquee Group L opening match in the 2026 FIFA World Cup on June 17, 2026, at Dallas Stadium on FOX.
