FIFA WC2026: Panama v England
Panama v England
Panama v England (Kick-off 10.00pm). Mark Pougatch presents coverage of the Group L match at New York/New Jersey Stadium in the USA, as the two sides play their final group game. This is just the second-ever meeting between the two countries, with the first coming in the group stage of the 2018 World Cup in Russia. That game was a memorable one for the Three Lions as they brushed their opponents aside with a 6-1 victory. Braces from Harry Kane and John Stones, as well as a goal from Jesse Lingard, gave England a 5-0 lead at half-time before Kane completed his hat-trick in the second period. Panama did create some history in the second half as they scored their first-ever goal at the World Cup finals thanks to a consolation finish from Felipe Baloy. The Three Lions will be hoping to finish top of this group with victory here after they missed their chance to progress to the knock-out stages in their last game against Ghana, as they were held to a 0-0 draw by the African country. Panama are already out of the competition after two 1-0 defeats by Ghana and Croatia.
