England are preparing for their first clash of the 2026 World Cup.
Thomas Tuchel’s side take on Croatia on Wednesday evening before clashes against Ghana and Panama.
Many will expect England to finish top of the group and progress through to the knockout stages of the tournament.

That said, Everton manager David Moyes was asked how he thinks the Three Lions will fare in America, and he’s made a pretty positive prediction.
David Moyes predicts England to go right to the end
Speaking on talkSPORT, Moyes has predicted England to reach the very latter stages of the World Cup and be amongst the likes of Spain and France as the favourites.
“I think England are up there with the top four or five teams in the World,” the Toffees boss stated.
“If the draw goes for you, you get the right games, you perform well enough on the day, England can go as far as they have done in the past.
“I’ve got a big thing about the football being played in the US… we played in the Premier League tournament last year… the conditions and the pitches were difficult for us.
“I think it might suit the South American teams much more than the European teams. But I don’t really see any South American teams that frighten me as much as France or Spain might do in any one game.
“But generally, I think England will be there or thereabouts, I really do.”
How would you feel about Hayden Hackney becoming Everton’s first signing? 🤩
England have the most in-form striker on the planet in Harry Kane, so with that alone, they’ll have a real chance.
Indeed, our very own Jordan Pickford is a very safe pair of hands, and in midfield, there aren’t many better pairings than Declan Rice and Elliot Anderson.
So, it’s an incredibly strong spine and one that is expected to get to a semi-final at the very least.
