English fans dream of the 2026 FIFA World Cup being the tournament where football finally comes home, but first the Three Lions must back up a positive opening Group L game, with another against Ghana in Boston.
Thomas Tuchel’s men showed in their thrilling victory over Croatia why they are among the leading contenders to lift the trophy with a thrilling attacking display in Dallas, as Harry Kane’s first-half brace and half-time goals from Jude Bellingham and substitute Marcus Rashford secured a 4-2 victory. The only concern was the defensive weakness punished by Croatia, who equalized twice before half-time, with Marc Guehi pushing to start. Another victory secures England’s place in the round of 32, but they must avoid any temptation to look beyond today’s rival.
On a six-game winless streak, Ghana needed a last-gasp winner to beat Panama 1-0 in their opener, when Caleb Yirenkyi appeared five minutes into second-half stoppage time to save them blushes against a nation yet to earn a World Cup point. However, tournament football is about getting the job done, and experienced coach Carlos Queiroz (in his record fifth consecutive World Cup) will know this better than anyone. The former Man Utd manager is one of several familiar faces in the Black Stars set-up, with Man City striker Antoine Semenyo, Leicester City duo Jordan Ayew and Abdul Fatawu, and Coventry City striker Brandon Thomas-Asante among his attacking options.
