England come from 2-2 at half-time to beat Croatia in World Cup opener

England trailed Croatia 2-2 at half-time in Dallas before fighting back to win their 2026 World Cup opener. Barney Ronay's piece frames the result as a break from the cautious Southgate era, with Thomas Tuchel's side showing a more adventurous style in the second half. England begin their World Cup campaign with a winning result and, more notably, signs of a genuinely different style under Tuchel.
