Djed Spence was a second-half substitute for England as they ran out 3-0 winners over Costa Rica on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n
In their final warm up game ahead of the 2026 World Cup – which begins in the Americas today (Thursday 11 June), England took the lead early on through Declan Rice but wouldn’t double their advantage until after Djed entered the action on 64 minutes, with Anthony Gordon rattling home on 4 minutes later from the spot.<\/p>\n
Having kicked-off an hour later than planned following heavy rain in Orlando, USA, it was also a late, late show on the pitch with Ollie Watkins bagging a third for the Three Lions in the final minutes of the game.<\/p>\n
Djed came on to play on the left-hand side of defence and was once again at his lively best, charging at defenders, always looking to help create something for his country. It was his sixth international cap.<\/p>\n
Next up for Djed and England is their World Cup opener against Croatia – that kicks-off in six days’ time in Dallas, Texas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Djed Spence was a second-half substitute for England as they ran out 3-0 winners over Costa Rica on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":306680,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[139,141,140,5516],"class_list":["post-306679","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-orlando","tag-orlando","tag-orlando-headlines","tag-orlando-news","tag-text"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/306679","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=306679"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/306679\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/306680"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=306679"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=306679"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=306679"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
