England vs. Croatia box score: Live stats from 2026 World Cup Group L game

England's first match of the 2026 World Cup comes against a familiar foe and frequent foil.

Croatia awaits the Three Lions to open Group L play for both nations having beaten the European power in the 2018 FIFA tournament, the last time these countries met on a World Cup stage.

In fact, Croatia's best finish at a World Cup came in 2018, when they lost to France in the final match. The Croatians have have three wins and two draws against England all time in international competition and will look to deal an early blow to the 2026 title favorite with another upset.

England, famously, has not won a World Cup since 1966 as the host country.
