England 4-2 Croatia World Cup Opener – Kane Breaks Record & Tuchel's Message Revealed 🔥🏴
https://www.newsplusglobe.com/
England kicked off their World Cup 2026 campaign with a pulsating 4-2 victory over Croatia at Dallas' AT&T Stadium. Harry Kane scored twice in the first half, equaling Gary Lineker's England World Cup record of 10 goals. But Croatia made England work for it, equalizing twice through Martin Baturina and Petar Musa. Jude Bellingham restored England's lead just two minutes after halftime with a powerful run and finish. Substitute Marcus Rashford added a fourth goal in the 85th minute to secure the three points.
Thomas Tuchel's halftime message proved crucial. Captain Harry Kane revealed: "If we lose, we lose in our way." The manager demanded more aggression and faster forward play. England's defense looked shaky at times, with the center-back pairing of John Stones and Ezri Konsa coming under scrutiny. But the attack delivered when it mattered most, finishing the match with 22 shots on goal.
England now faces Ghana in Boston on Tuesday, June 23. Croatia will look to bounce back against Panama.
