AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoWorld Cup Group L: England kicked off their 2026 campaign with a wild 4-2 win over Croatia in Dallas as Harry Kane scored twice (including a retaken penalty) to equal Gary Lineker’s World Cup record, while Jude Bellingham and Marcus Rashford added second-half goals after Martin Baturina and Petar Musa had twice hauled Croatia level. Coach & tactics: England boss Thomas Tuchel said his team overcame nerves and “overthought” in a chaotic first half, then came out “full gas” after halftime. Croatia angle: Croatia’s Musa struck right before the break, but England’s pressure after the restart proved decisive. Off-pitch friction: FIFA faced fresh scrutiny after reports claimed some England fans entered without tickets; FIFA said it has no confirmed indication at this stage. Next up: England play Ghana next, while Croatia face Panama. Elsewhere in Group L: Ghana beat Panama 1-0 in Toronto with a stoppage-time winner by Caleb Yirenkyi.
