World Cup live: England vs Panama, Croatia vs Ghana, Colombia vs Portugal, DR Congo vs Uzbekistan, Algeria vs Austria, Jordan vs Argentina

The World Cup group stage concludes with a star-studded day of action in North America.

England and Ghana have both already clinched group-stage progression, but top spot in Group L goes on the line as the Three Lions take on Panama in New Jersey and the Black Stars face Croatia in Philadelphia.

Third-placed Croatia needs to avoid defeat to secure a place in the knockout stages, but could still progress with a narrow loss.

Then, Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal locks horns with Colombia in Miami, and Uzbekistan clashes with DR Congo as Group K draws to a close.

The first round concludes with Argentina, already guaranteed to progress as group winner, facing Jordan, while Algeria and Austria fight it out for second spot in Group J.

57′ Great save denies Harry Kane!

First big chance for Harry Kane.

England ‘not good enough’

Alan Shearer is not happy.

England facing Portugal clash

If England finish second in the group they’ll probably face Portugal in the knockout phase.

Not sure many England fans will fancy that.

A real incentive to go and win this match.

They’re dominating possession but can’t find a goal

It’s very wet in New Jersey.

Maybe time for a hot chocolate?

Sun 28 Jun 2026 at 7:24am

21′ Header over the bar from Croatia

Rare chance in this game.

A free-kick is swung in and Marin Pongračić heads over.

Sun 28 Jun 2026 at 7:17am

15′ Chance for Saka

Bukayo Saka does well to keep Jude Bellingham’s pass from going out.

He beats his man and shoots towards the near post but Mosquera easily saves.

Sun 28 Jun 2026 at 7:13am

12′ Croatia vs Ghana a tough watch

It’s not been a great start to the game in Philadelphia.

The game’s pretty much being played in midfield.

No real chances yet.

A point should be enough for both teams to go through.
