England fans are dreaming of FIFA World Cup 2026 being the tournament where football finally comes home, but first the Three Lions must back up a positive opening Group L fixture, with another against Ghana in Boston.
Thomas Tuchel's men showed in their thrilling win over Croatia why they are among the leading contenders to lift the trophy with an exciting attacking display in Dallas, as Harry Kane's first-half double and goals after the break by Jude Bellingham and substitute Marcus Rashford secured a 4-2 victory. The only concern was a defensive frailty punished by Croatia, who twice drew level before the interval, with Marc Guehi pushing for a start. Another victory seals England's spot in the round of 32, but they must avoid any temptation of looking past today's opponents.
On a six-game winless run, Ghana needed a last-gasp winner to beat Panama 1-0 in their opening game, as Caleb Yirenkyi popped up five minutes into second-half stoppage time to spare their blushes against a nation yet to earn a World Cup point. Tournament football is all about getting the job done, though, and experienced manager Carlos Queiroz – at his record fifth World Cup in a row – will know that better than anyone. The former Man Utd coach is one of several familiar faces in the Black Stars' setup, with Man City forward Antoine Semenyo, Leicester City duo Jordan Ayew and Abdul Fatawu, and Coventry City striker Brandon Thomas-Asante among their options in attack.
