World Cup: England fires Ghana warning with emphatic friendly win over Costa RicaGhana's group opponents, England, rounded up preparations ahead of the World Cup with a convincing victory over Costa Rica on Wednesday evening. The Three Lions strolled to victory with strikes from Declan Rice, Anthony Gordon, and Ollie Watkins. The 1966 winners got off to a blistering start after the Arsenal midfielder fired home following a brilliant cut-back from new Barcelona forward Gordon. Gordon went from provider to scorer in the second half after converting from the spot, before Watkins rebounded from a Morgan Rogers strike. The victory gives England a massive boost after an unconvincing performance against New Zealand last week. The Group L favourites will begin the tournament with a clash against 2018 runners-up Croatia on June 17. Meanwhile, the Black Stars will face England on June 23 in Boston after their opening match in Toronto against Panama. The Black Stars will finish their group with a game against Croatia in Philadelphia on June 27.
