England cannot afford any mistakes. As the first half ends, the Three Lions find themselves in a tough spot, struggling to break through Panama’s rock-solid defense.
Before kickoff, the mission was clear: beat Panama to retain top spot in Group L. Without a win, the risk loomed that Croatia or Ghana could overtake them in the standings.
With just 45 minutes left on the clock, that scenario is closer than ever. Croatia are up by a goal and currently sit atop Group L.
For Kane, Bellingham, and the rest of the Three Lions, it’s time to respond.
