This time, England triumphed, energizing its bid to end 60 years of hurt on the international stage. Tuchel was appointed with the simple task of coaching England to a World Cup win, and England showed early signs of his tactical acumen but also his ability to inspire his players.<\/p>\n<p>Midfielder <strong>Declan Rice <\/strong>spoke glowingly of the halftime talk that helped spur England from a 2-2 tie at the half to the 4-2 win, as the Three Lions roared out of the blocks in the second half. Earlier, a pair of goals by Kane \u2014 his ninth and 10th at World Cups \u2014 had twice put England ahead, only for some sloppy defending and smart attacking play to give Croatia a route back.<\/p>\n<p>In the same Group L, Ghana defeated Panama 1-0 with a last-gasp winner. England plays Ghana next, where Kane will be hoping to surpass <strong>Gary Lineker\u2019s<\/strong> record for the most goals scored by an England player at the World Cup.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>A Portugal team starring another superstar inRonaldo could only tie 1-1 against the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Portugal was among the pretournament favorites but struggled to generate chances, with Ronaldo\u2019s performance likely to fuel new debate about whether it\u2019s time to bench him. In the same group, Uzbekistan came out fighting in its first-ever World Cup appearance but lost 3-1 to Colombia.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/trustedmovinggroups.com\/?p=1426\">Supreme Court backs a marijuana user\u2019s challenge to a restriction on gun ownership<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>World Cup Preview<\/h2>\n<p>Co-hosts Mexico and Canada are back in action as the second round of matches begins in groups A and B. Mexico and South Korea have a chance to cement a place in the round of 32, while South Africa and Czechia will be desperate to avoid an early exit.<\/p>\n<p>Mexico takes on South Korea at 9 p.m. ET. Both teams stand atop Group A with three points apiece, but Mexico is in first place courtesy of a superior goal difference: It beat South Africa 2-0 in a fiery opener that saw three red cards, while South Korea defeated Czechia 2-1.<\/p>\n<p>While Mexico opened its campaign in the capital city\u2019s iconic Azteca Stadium, tonight\u2019s match takes it to Guadalajara.<\/p>\n<p>Canada has a chance to take a decisive step toward the knockouts against Qatar, with all four teams in their group even at one point apiece after the Qataris earned a surprise draw with Switzerland. A win would ease the pressure on the Canadians, who impressed and earned a first World Cup point in an opening game tie with Bosnia-Herzegovina. The Canadians\u2019 third and final game will be against the talented Swiss.<\/p>\n<h2>What We\u2019re Watching<\/h2>\n<p>World Cup!
