England 4-2 Croatia (Kane 12′ pen, 42′, Bellingham 47′, Rashford 85′ | Baturina 36′, Musa 45+4′)
DALLAS STADIUM — England’s World Cup is up and running in enthralling fashion as they tore Croatia apart in a second half that should set their tempo for their challenge in North America this summer.
They looked as threatening as any team has at this tournament, scoring four and creating 22 chances in a dominant performance against their Group L rivals.
There is work to do at the back – they lost control at the end of the first half – but overall this was as good as Thomas Tuchel could have hoped for.
Here’s how the players rated.
