Thomas Tuchel will be hopeful that his England team rights a few wrongs from Saturday’s "freestyle" performance against a stubborn New Zealand on Saturday, as the Three Lions take on Costa Rica.
The England boss was far from happy with his side’s showing in Tampa, although there were mitigating circumstances. Match-winner Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham made note of the difficult conditions and a sub-par playing surface, which reduced the efficiency of England’s possession play against a deep-lying defense.
Costa Rica will aim to pose similar problems to the All Whites by refusing to surrender space in and around the box. The 2014 World Cup quarterfinalists failed to qualify for the upcoming tournament by finishing behind Haiti and Honduras in their third round group.
Ranked 51st in FIFA’s rankings, the Central American nation has succumbed in its previous two outings, losing 5–0 to Iran in March before Colombia beat them 3–1 last week.
The signs are pointing towards a comfortable England victory, and here’s how you can watch the action unfold on TV.
