*DR Congo to open also campaign against Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal

As England prepare to begin their FIFA World Cup 2026 campaign against Croatia this Wednesday night, former England Captain, John Terry, believes the Three Lions have a genuine opportunity to end decades of hurt and bring football’s greatest prize home.

Terry, who is part of SuperSport’s star-studded FIFA World Cup analyst team, has been closely following England’s preparations and is optimistic about what lies ahead for his country.

The Chelsea legend believes England arrive at the tournament with one of the strongest squads in world football and a growing sense of belief that they can go all the way.

“I’m extremely excited to see England at this World Cup,” said Terry.
