CRO 2/ENG 4
Things to say
England beat Croatia 4-2 at AT&T Stadium in their World Cup opener.
01
opener
England got the job done, 4-2 over Croatia. Looked shaky for stretches but the quality showed up when it mattered. Cowboys stadium was rocking too.
02
key player
Kane was Kane, seven shots and bullying the back line all night. Man just turns up at tournaments.
03
hot take
Two goals shipped to this Croatia side is a problem. You're not winning a World Cup with that back four.
04
deep cut
Livakovic had seven saves and still let in four. Imagine if their keeper had a bad day.
05
exit
Anyway, group's basically theirs to lose now. Curious to see who they draw in the knockouts.
The recap
England put four past Croatia at AT&T Stadium and honestly it could've been more — Livakovic had to make seven saves just to keep it at 4-2. Kane was a menace up top, seven shots and clearly the focal point of everything good going forward.
Croatia barely showed up in attack, one shot from Sucic tells you everything, and once England got rolling there was no way back. Statement opener at the World Cup, and the lads look properly dangerous.
