The PuntHub view — England, charmless and perfect
England qualified with a perfect record and didn't concede a goal doing it. It was joyless, efficient and completely unlike every England campaign you've ever watched, which is exactly why Tuchel was hired. Kane is in the form of his life and the depth behind him — Bellingham, Saka, Foden, Palmer — is the envy of everyone except France.
Croatia keep over-delivering at World Cups: a final and a third place from the last two, and Modrić, now 40, gets one more go. England v Croatia decides the group. Ghana bring chaos and athleticism, Panama bring organisation and fouls. On paper this goes to seeding. England on paper has historically been the problem.
Verdict: England top it, Croatia join them.
