The England national football team won 3:0 against Costa Rica in Orlando in their final warm-up match before the World Cup. The match only kicked off after a delay caused by strong storms and lightning near the Inter&Co Stadium. n-tv ↗
England's goals were scored by Declan Rice, Anthony Gordon and Ollie Watkins. Costa Rica did not qualify for the World Cup, so the match served mainly as a final test for Thomas Tuchel's team before the tournament. England came through both of their pre-tournament warm-up matches successfully, having beaten New Zealand in addition to Costa Rica. Der Standard ↗
The delay to the match was accompanied by a warning on the big screen urging fans to seek shelter from lightning in the area. Tuchel said after the match that he expects similar situations could recur during the World Cup. Even before the start of the tournament, the weather has thus highlighted one of the possible organizational problems facing matches in the United States. BBC News ↗
For England's coach, sporting questions also remain open ahead of the tournament's start. British media are focused in particular on the makeup of the offensive positions, the role of Jude Bellingham, and whether Bukayo Saka will be part of the starting lineup. The win over Costa Rica gave Tuchel one last set of insights before the decisions he must make ahead of the first match at the World Cup. Index.hu ↗
