England will play their round of 32 game in Atlanta on July 1, most likely against Senegal or DR Congo, after defeating Panama to win group L.England won their opening game with Croatia 4-2 but were frustrated in a 0-0 draw Ghana and failed to score in the opening half of the game at MetLife Stadium too.Marcus Rashford, starting for the first time at this World Cup, and Harry Kane had good chances in the early part of the second half before Jude Bellingham stabbed in from a corner on 62 minutes.Kane headed in a second to become England’s leading scorer in World Cups with 11 goals, putting him one behind Brazil great Pele in the all-time list. Lionel Messi leads the way on 18. Panama’s Jose Fajardo had their first goal of the tournament ruled out for offside in stoppage time.Panama are out the World Cup and the result means England avoid a path that would have seen them face Portugal or Colombia and then Spain if successful. Winning their round of 32 game would now send them to Mexico City in the last 16 on July 5 to face the co-hosts or Ecuador.Here The Athletic’s Jack Pitt-Brooke, Nick Miller, Thom Harris and Liam Tharme break down the key moments.What next for the teams in group L?England finished top of group L and will play their last 32 opponent in Atlanta on July 1. Who the opponent is remains to be seen but The Athletic’s projector makes Senegal (51 per cent), DR Congo (42 per cent) or Algeria the most likely.The bracket puts the winner on course to play a last 16 game against either Mexico or Ecuador in Mexico City on July 5.Runners-up Croatia will most likely play either Colombia or Portugal (the second team in group K in Toronto on July 2, with Spain a likely round of 16 opponent.Ghana finished third and will play whichever of Colombia or Portugal tops group K in Kansas City on July 3.Panama finished bottom and are eliminated.How good are England?There was a huge sense of relief when England finally broke through in the second half. For a few minutes they had been heading for second place in Group L, which would have meant a long trip to Toronto in the last-32 and then a likely game with Spain in Dallas in the last-16. By breaking Panama down and winning 2-0 they have won Group L with seven points, an impressive achievement given what a tough group it is.But are England actually any good? They had to labour hard here to break through, and for a long time it felt like a continuation of the Ghana game, where England lacked the ingenuity to break down a tough side. Perhaps that is an unfair criticism. Lots of games in this World Cup look something like this. There are no prizes for style at this stage in the tournament.And yet there still feels something a bit patchy about England. They conceded plenty of chances here, more than in the Ghana game. Their defence does not look solid and Jarell Quansah went down with an apparent injury here, further weakening their full-back options. Under a real test in the next round, better opposition could cause them real problems. There are some strengths in this team, but some fragilities too.Jack Pitt-BrookeDid Rashford take his chance?Rashford’s inclusion was one of five changes from their stodgy 0-0 draw with Ghana, having played only 27 minutes off the bench across the opening two games. Despite a few lapses of concentration, his pace in-behind and eye for a long range shot meant that this was another impactful display.
