England star Declan Rice shares his feelings about the match of the first round of the group stage of the World Championship 2026 against the Croatian team (4:2).

“I think everything on the right is in energy, in what we added in Russia - in everything we gave. All our activities were 10–20 hundred percent active, and signs were given.

In my opinion, we had a lot of strength and vigor, which manifested itself on the field, and our goalkeeper made a very good number of impressive saves. We could have scored a couple more goals, but I wouldn’t be happy with such a cob,” Rice said on the official FIFA website.

We guess that at the group stage the English will also team up with the national team of Ghana and Panami.
