00:00Bellingham and Harry Kane so that was something he definitely wanted a look at
00:04today. A couple of good saves from Patrick Sequeira. One of them to deny Harry Kane.
00:11His 80th England goal is the reason it's only 1-0.
00:30Really impressed Thomas Tuchel with the clean-up operation, the mopping-up operation at the Inter & Co Stadium in
00:37Orlando.
00:39It's staggered to find how dry the pitch was when England arrived 90 minutes or so ahead of the rescheduled
00:45kick-off time of 5 o'clock locally.
00:49Considering the sheer amount of water that they had watched fall from the sky from their team hotel.
01:02It's going to be a tough route back towards the top for Costa Rica.
01:08This is a really useful test for them, for England of course.
01:12This is the perfect game if you consider that they play Panama in their final group game in New York,
01:22New Jersey.
01:23Panama are the team who are just one place ahead of Costa Rica in terms of the
01:30CONCACAF rankings.
01:54So far so good for England. It's been a really good opening 29 minutes from them.
02:00scored once they've forced a couple of good saves out of the opposition goalkeeper and Jordan Pickford really needs binoculars
02:09to be following the action.
02:28Johnson looking to get the ball forward.
02:31stones back to Jordan Pickford might just be the first time he's touched the ball inside his own penalty area
02:37and he's made an uncharacteristic mistake.
02:40Gallo with a chance.
02:47England and the goalkeeper in particular weren't switched back on after the hydration break.
02:53Took a gamble Jordan Pickford.
02:58More up for this skipper and Orlando Gallo's effort deflected wide for what is Costa Rica's first corner.
03:06and the goalkeeper in particular is the goalkeeper.
03:28Soto takes.
03:31and somewhat let England off the hook there by
03:38the ball ends up all the way back with
03:42Sequeira in the Costa Rica goal
03:48Pelo wants a free kick for the challenge from Bellingham
03:53so I'm convinced about that
04:15the ball in his hands after the misjudgment that nearly threatened England's lead
04:40Anderson
04:44Stokes
04:46O'Reilly
04:48Rice
04:50helping it on brilliantly for Gordon
04:52who was fouled just outside the penalty area
04:57by Jalen Mitchell
05:01there's a delightful touch in here from Declan Rice
05:05great vision
05:08the deafness of touch as well
05:22dispute ongoing here Jalen Mitchell is utterly unconvinced that he stepped out of line
05:35is the verdict though of Katja Koroleva that matters more than any
05:39��
05:45rick
05:46I'm sure
05:57you're required
06:00It's Costa Rica look to get themselves reorganized here
06:10This is undoubtedly a promising position that England find themselves in all sorts of options
06:17available to them.
06:21Rees James are running through a few of them now.
06:35Are there too many choices?
06:49Leclan Rice for England.
06:51It was a shot rather than a cross.
06:54It wasn't particularly close to adding to his earlier goal.
07:07And when you've got one already, I guess you're entitled to think it's your day.
07:13I'm surprised he started with the jacket on.
07:15It's sweltering.
07:31Anderson's header.
07:36So the ball was a little irregular, but Harry Kane seemed to know where it was heading.
07:41Gallo forward.
07:44Anderson there first for England.
07:50Closed down really quickly by Alcacer.
08:00Having erred a little bit earlier when he had the ball at his feet.
08:02Certainly Alcacer recognised that it was an opportunity to put some pressure on the England goalkeeper.
08:06But Bellingham has threaded it beautifully for Madweke who is in.
08:12And has somehow failed to make it 2-0.
08:22It's a horrible miss.
08:25At the end of a really ruthless attack that should have seen England extend their lead.
08:33Done the hard bit.
08:34Outmaneuvered Sequeira.
08:36The goal was vacant, but Madweke could find only the foot of the post.
08:45Disbelief amongst England's support.
08:48Better to get those sorts of mistakes out of the way before the World Cup starts for real.
08:58Easier to see the funny side of it today than it would be against Croatia, Ghana or Panama.
09:11Anderson and Calo have collided.
09:29Anderson has immediately sat upright but is being checked carefully.
09:38Both have their eyes on the ball.
09:43They were quite prepared for what was about to happen.
10:07Anderson has become a big asset for Thomas Tuchel in England.
10:12He's now been involved in 9 of the 10 games since he made his debut in a 1-0 win
10:19over Andorra in World Cup qualifying in September.
10:24Madweke is still contemplating how he hasn't added to the goal that he scored in a 5-0 win over
10:30Serbia.
10:32In the same month that Elliot Anderson made his debut.
10:43Soto dispossessed. Gordon challenged by Johnson successfully.
10:50Moura.
10:53Johnson applying some pressure to Stones.
10:58Nice and concert there as well.
11:04England untroubled by the prospect of playing it out right in front of their own goal.
11:07Harry Kane in the opposite penalty area to the one where he usually does his business.
11:14England have invited pressure.
11:17Costa Rica have looked to benefit from that.
11:20Instead though England can break and break quickly.
11:22Harry.
11:24Bellingham.
11:26Madweke.
11:29Jude Bellingham.
11:32Harry Kane.
11:34Bellingham for Rice this time.
11:37Bellingham is there again.
11:42It's a disappointing outcome at the end of what had looked a promising move.
11:52It's Thomas Tuchel's 14th game in charge of England today.
11:58And Jude Bellingham is starting with just the fifth time.
12:04The moments where he's placing the squad, never mind the team.
12:11He's been open to debate since January of last year.
12:16The fact that Jude Bellingham is on the pitch for England's final World Cup warm-up would
12:19suggest that he's very much back in favour.
12:22Noni Madweke is highly unimpressed with a challenge from Darryl Araya.
12:29And Jude Bellingham's got himself involved in the discussion as well.
12:49The result was an England free kick and an ongoing disagreement over the way in which it was conceded.
13:09And the smoltering there, under the collar, is not what you want.
13:25Declan Rice.
13:28Cleared as far as Rhys James.
13:34Alcacer's head up.
13:38Soto assisting.
13:42Conceding a throw, it took a touch off him out of play, having cannoned into Gordon.
13:49Kane getting on with it for England, who would like another goal before half-time.
13:53And there's only four minutes plus stoppage time remaining before the interval.
14:10Stokes.
14:14Anderson.
14:235-1 by James James after some consideration from the referee's assistant that Josimar Alcacer isn't entirely sure.
14:34That's the correct verdict.
14:41O'Reilly.
14:42Corden.
14:50England free kick here.
14:54Andre Soto is displeased.
14:57O'Reilly was the one on the receiving end.
14:59It was a crunching coming together between the two players.
15:08Soto feels that he was the more wronged of the two.
15:16That is definitely a foul by Manfred Ugaldi.
15:23Who was really lively and instinctive against Colombia last week.
15:30Whenever he got on the ball, he was a menace.
15:32But it's been a frustrating game for him so far because he has very, very rarely been on the ball.
15:41That's a lot of caution for someone on the Costa Rica bench.
16:07Bellinger.
16:13Not awake.
16:16Well done by Alcacer.
16:20It's Tariqa win the throw.
16:30Leandre haven't necessarily found friendly straight forward in recent times.
16:34They've won only three of the most recent nine.
16:38That has been in part due to some experimentation.
16:43That is not the case today.
16:46Very close, you would imagine, to the first choice World Cup XI.
16:51One other two.
16:53One, two, three.
17:10One.
17:10One.
17:11One.
17:11One.
17:12One.
17:14One.
17:17One.
17:27Stokes O'Reilly
17:31Gordon assumed there was somebody in white
17:33Immediately behind him
17:34What is raised there?
17:37Carlos Moura
17:38Yellow card
17:45I don't think there was any
17:49Intent to hurt Elliot Anderson
17:51But
17:55Toe of the boot
17:56Stud showing
18:04Into four
18:06Additional minutes at the end of
18:11First half
18:12First half that
18:13Is delayed by an hour
18:17By the weather earlier
18:25On the basis of the England performance
18:27They will be delighted that the
18:30Clouds cleared
18:31And this game was able to go ahead
18:33Because it
18:34So far has been a very useful
18:36Exercise
18:38Stones
18:39Towards Gordon
18:41Mitchell is there
18:43Welling conceded
18:54Rice
18:57Bellingham with a touch for Konza
19:02Shake off Soto
19:04Anderson
19:07O'Reilly
19:13Gordon has not been as impactful
19:15In the latter stages of the first half
19:17As he was early on
19:20Costa Rica have found a way of
19:22Dealing with him
19:24Kane
19:25In towards Gordon
19:26Who very nearly escaped the shackles
19:29And then he was fouled
19:31And England have a penalty
19:35Well no sooner at Costa Rica
19:37Seems to have
19:38Come to turns
19:39With the threat of
19:40Anthony Gordon
19:41Than he comes alive again
19:46Wonderful vision initially
19:47From Harry Kane
19:48To spot Gordon
19:51Who then got to the loose ball
19:53Ahead of Sean Johnson
19:55Who in his determination
19:57To stay close
19:58To his opponent
20:00Ended up
20:01Sending him to the floor
20:13He will inevitably
20:15Be Harry Kane
20:16To take responsibility
20:32I don't want to get a chance
20:34To take responsibility
20:35Because
20:39Kaccia Koroleva
20:40Has been offered an opportunity
20:41To have another look at this
20:45Winfrey's immediate verdict
20:46Was that this was a foul
20:49From behind
20:49By Sean Johnson
20:59Is there any compelling evidence there
21:01That
21:04Winfrey's
21:07Initial
21:09Interpretation
21:09Was incorrect
21:17And the referee
21:18Has waved away
21:19The England penalty
21:20And a reprieve
21:25For Sean Johnson
21:27In Costa Rica
21:46Just as it seemed
21:47As though
21:47Harry Kane
21:48Was going to
21:51Step up
21:51And as he would
21:52More often than not
21:53Do
21:53From that sort of
21:54Situation
21:55Extend England's advantage
21:57And one nil it remains
22:12Well Chester's against New Zealand
22:14England
22:14A goal to the good
22:15At half time
22:16Against Costa Rica
22:17But
22:17Altogether better
22:18First half
22:19Showing
22:19From one of the world cup
22:21Favorites
22:22And it was one of the players
22:23Who only recently
22:24Linked up with the squad
22:25Declan Rice
22:25Who got the goal
22:27Just inside ten minutes
22:28Harry Kane's
22:29Header and
22:31Madweke's
22:31Shot saved by
22:32Sequeira
22:33Before Madweke
22:34Set clear by
22:35Bellingham
22:36Hit the post
22:37When he should have
22:38Converted into an empty net
22:39So at half time
22:41England will need to be
22:42Satisfied with the score
22:43Of England
22:43One
22:44Costa Rica
22:45Nil
23:26Well England a goal
23:27To the good
23:28Against Costa Rica
23:30Unlike Saturday
23:32Against New Zealand
23:34It's not going to be
23:35A completely fresh
23:36England 11
23:37That takes to the field
23:38For the second half
23:40Thomas Tuchel
23:43Stated that anyone
23:44Who started the game
23:45Would play at least
23:47An hour
23:48It does appear
23:49As though Costa Rica
23:50Are going to be
23:51A completely similar
23:54To the team
23:55That ended the first half
23:56No sign as yet
23:58Of alterations
24:10And will feel
24:12As though they deserve
24:12To be further ahead
24:13Costa Rica
24:14Had an awful lot
24:16Of defending to do
24:18It is going to be
24:20An alteration
24:23And it is
24:24Seemingly
24:26Yes
24:26The reversal
24:27Of the change
24:28Prior to the game
24:29Hachal
24:30Kirosh
24:31Is coming on
24:33For
24:33Sean Johnson
24:35Who had a tough time
24:36On his debut
24:37Right back against
24:39The determined
24:40And lively
24:40Anthony Gordon
24:42Was called out
24:43For the goal
24:43By which England lead
24:44And was penalised
24:45For a penalty
24:46That was overturned
24:48With the intervention
24:49Of VAR
24:50So England
24:51Get us back
24:52Under way
24:52Declan Rice
24:53To Jordan Pickford
24:55And England
24:56Looking to immediately
24:57Re-establish themselves
24:59Deep in Costa Rica
25:00Territory
25:00Which is where
25:01They spent
25:01The majority
25:02Of the first
25:0245 minutes
25:04Raised boots
25:06Again
25:07Anthony Anderson
25:08The England player
25:09Involved
25:10No contact
25:11This time
25:12From Manfredo
25:13Regalde
25:40He's John Stones
25:43Harry Kane
25:45Harry Kane
25:47Had away
25:47Kane
25:48Who had the best
25:49Chance to make it
25:502-0
25:50For England
25:52He's now determined
25:53To
25:54Try and do
25:55Exactly that
25:56Anderson
25:58Was the target
26:05Anderson penalised
26:06First Costa Rica
26:07Free kick
26:16James tried to stop
26:18Yosemar Alcacet
26:20Which Madison did
26:22Just not legally
26:34There's James
26:37For Bellingham
26:39The players who started
26:41The game will be
26:42Absolutely
26:44Determined that in the
26:4515 minutes or so
26:46Of the second half
26:47That they will get
26:48Together
26:48That they can
26:49Make a further
26:50Impression on the match
26:52Harry Kane
26:53Spreading the play
26:54Out to Nani
26:55Madweke
26:55Expert stuff
26:56Madweke
27:02Having missed
27:02A sitter
27:03In the first half
27:04He very nearly
27:05Produced something
27:06Spectacular
27:06In the second
27:11Great vision
27:12From Harry Kane
27:13To find Madweke
27:14And once he was
27:15Cutting it onto
27:15The left foot
27:17Curling the shot
27:18Inside the post
27:19Always seemed
27:19Impossible
27:20Just didn't bend
27:22Back quite enough
27:25Would have been
27:26Quite a way
27:26To make amends
27:27For
27:29This awful
27:30Missing the first half
27:32Which no doubt
27:33There was much
27:33Discussion at half time
27:47Little stumble
27:48He recovered
27:49Recovered
27:51Anderson for Rice
27:57By Anderson
28:00Mora has made
28:01Excellent progress
28:02Rice in pursuit
28:03Carlos Mora
28:03Just simply
28:04Could not
28:05Shrug off
28:06Declan Rice
28:09Stuck to the task
28:14Runeful reaction
28:15From Carlos Mora
28:17There have been
28:20Scant opportunities
28:21For Costa Rica
28:22To threaten
28:22The England goal
28:24Mora clearly thought
28:25That was
28:26An occasion
28:27On which he might
28:45Stunt for O'Reilly
28:51Gordon taking over
28:54Is Bellingham
28:58Rhys James
29:00Jude Bellingham
29:03Rolled away by
29:06Kirosh
29:10Rice for Anderson
29:18James
29:19John Stones
29:27Rice
29:30Gordon
29:33Exploded into life
29:34On a couple of
29:34Occasions in the
29:35First half
29:36Bellingham
29:37Impossibly willing
29:38To get on the ball
29:40Here he is again
29:47Keep the ball in place
29:49Somehow
29:49He has gifted it
29:51Back to England
30:00For Rice
30:01For Anderson
30:03For Rice
30:15To Nico O'Reilly
30:16To be continued
