England vs Costa Rica: Preview

England were less than a joy to watch as Thomas Tuchel's side barely got going in a dull 1-0 win over New Zealand.

Harry Kane's first-half header was the only difference, with Ivan Toney and Ollie Watkins also squandering good chances for the Three Lions.

Rio Ngumoha was perhaps the bright spark as Tuchel was left to question his involvement in the finals, as the Liverpool man looked ever-threatening on his first England start.

Costa Rica won’t be at this summer’s World Cup, which is perhaps something of a surprise given they’d appeared at five of the six finals prior. Their shortcomings were again exposed in a 3-1 defeat to Colombia earlier in June.

The major red flag for Costa Rica is that the three defeats in that run all came against sides competing at this summer’s finals in the US, Canada and Mexico, so it seems likely they’ll struggle once more here, even if they are unbeaten inside 90 minutes in their last four internationals held in the USA.
