England have started their World Cup adventure with a victory, defeating Croatia 4-2 in a spectacular Group L match, held in Arlington, Texas.
The main protagonist of the match was captain Harry Kane, who scored two goals in the first half, while Jude Bellingham and Marcus Rashford sealed the success of the "Three Lions" after the break.
The experience of the two fans, who were unable to watch the match from the stadium, but filled the main squares of Texas, was different. The English, who are known for their fanaticism in support of the "Three Lions", were in a frenzy. Enthusiasm was at its peak, as the English witnessed a spectacular triumph in the opening match of the World Cup by their team, which is one of the favorites to bring the trophy back to England.
On the other hand, Croatia is certainly no longer the charming team of 2018, with the Balkans reaching the grand final in Moscow, where they were defeated by France 4-2. The disappointment was great for the Croats, who will still try until the end to qualify in Group L.
At the end of the England-Korac match, for the numerous journalists, striker Harry Kane commented on his performance, but also on the performance of the "Three Lions" as a whole: "First of all, let me congratulate England on the victory. It was a very strange and difficult match, as we had predicted.. "We entered the second half with maximum intensity and they could not cope with our pace. This is the level that we have to set in every match.
The way we controlled the game after taking the lead was very good. At no point did it look like we were in danger and then we managed to score on the counterattack.
"We had a period of play where we could have scored three or four more goals. The credit goes to everyone; it was the first game of the tournament and a great result against a strong opponent," Kane said.
