England's national football team started the 2026 World Cup finals with a victory, defeating Croatia 4:2.

England's national football team made a strong start to the 2026 World Cup finals, crushing Croatia 4:2, but head coach Thomas Tuchel was unable to fully celebrate the victory.

Tuchel's concern was not on the pitch, but beside it. Specifically, a large number of photographers gathered before the match began, preventing the head coach from calmly focusing on listening to the England national anthem and preparing his players emotionally for the moment.

Tuchel announced after the match that he intends to report the incident to FIFA, deeming the situation unacceptable. According to him, the national anthem is an important moment for every player and team, it is a time when the squad must be able to gather calmly.

Despite the external distractions, England displayed confident football on the pitch, winning the opening match convincingly 4:2. This is a promising start for England's national team at the tournament, where supporters are hoping for a long-awaited title.
