The England and Croatia teams enter tonight's match at the opening of Group L of the 2026 World Cup™ with high readiness and great ambitions, as this confrontation is the strongest test for both teams in the group stage: ## The readiness of the English team * **A perfect journey:** England qualified for the World Cup after a perfect qualifying campaign with a perfect score (8 consecutive victories) and an excellent defensive record, as it did not concede a single goal throughout the qualifiers. * **New motivations:** England begins the tournament under new technical leadership led by German coach **Thomas Tuchel**, who seeks to employ young and experienced names such as Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham, and Bukayo Saka to break the knot of major matches and achieve a title that has been absent for 60 years. * **Expected style:** Relying on advanced high pressing, and exploiting the speed of the parties (Saka and Gordon) in bilateral confrontations against Croatia’s full-backs, with Harry Kane’s movements as an offensive station and late playmaker. --- ## Readiness of the Croatian national team * **Experience element:** Croatia enters the tournament as runner-up in the 2018 World Cup and third-place finisher in the 2022 World Cup. The team is going through a period of renewal and the entry of young players, but it still relies mainly on the “old guard” led by Luka Modric, Mateo Kovacic, and Ivan Perisic. * **Strengths and weaknesses:** The Croatian national team is distinguished by its high ability to control the rhythm of matches and its calmness thanks to its historic midfield, but the recent friendly experiences showed some defensive problems against teams that rely on quick rebounds (such as their friendly loss to Brazil 1-3). * **Expected style:** Coach Zlatko Dalic will rely on close lines and a retreat into a tight defensive organization (4-5-1) to absorb early English enthusiasm, with Joshko Gvardiol leading the offensive build-up from the back and relying on rebounding balls and experience in managing critical minutes.
