England’s next World Cup test

England’s final Group L game at the World Cup 2026 is set against Panama, after a 4-2 win over Croatia and a 0-0 draw with Ghana on Tuesday night. Football Italia says fans looking to buy England tickets are directed to the official FIFA page for tickets, while also pointing to an alternative tickets hub with a “150% money back guarantee.” The article also lays out an England predicted line up vs Panama featuring Marcus Rashford, Bukayo Saka, and Harry Kane, alongside Jordan Pickford, James, O’Reilly, Guehi, Konsa, Rice, Anderson, and Bellingham.

BBC coverage of the same England cycle quotes Alan Shearer saying, “I am confident England will do that too, by beating Panama on Saturday.” BBBC adds that Shearer expects Thomas Tuchel to make three or even four changes after the disappointing result and performance against Ghana.B

Saka, Rashford and Ghana

Racism directed at Bukayo Saka, Jadon Sancho, and Marcus Rashford after the Euro 2020 final is cited as part of the backdrop for Callum Hudson-Odoi’s decision to sever his ties with the England national team and pledge allegiance to Ghana. Senego says Hudson-Odoi met President Nana Akufo-Addo at Jubilee House during a visit to Ghana to discuss how to “improve the country's football infrastructure,” and that the president asked Mustapha Ussif to persuade him to change his allegiance. Senego reports that Ghana Sports Online says Hudson-Odoi has decided to play for Ghana, and it links the choice to FIFA’s new rules and the fact he has fewer than four appearances for England.

BBC’s Shearer argues that there is “no need to panic” about England’s draw with Ghana on Tuesday, while also stressing the importance of bouncing back. BBBC says Shearer wants to see Bukayo Saka and Marcus Rashford start if they are ready, with Saka on the right and Rashford on the left, and he calls for more energy and more direct one against one situations.B
