Win the group and they will face a third-place finisher, but a runners-up spot would set up a potential clash with either Colombia or Portugal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>England thrashed Panama 6-1 in their only previous meeting eight years ago at the 2018 World Cup. Harry Kane scored a hat-trick on that day and England\u2019s all time goalscorer (81 goals) needs only one more goal to surpass Gary Lineker as the country\u2019s all-time leading scorer at World Cups (both on 10 goals).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/Panama\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Panama<\/a>, who are still searching for their first ever point, are already out of the tournament having lost to both Ghana and Croatia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another defeat would see them sink to their sixth defeat in six World Cup games, equalling the unwanted records of El Salvador, Haiti, and Iraq.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/27121513\/HarryKane27062026_ID3ERA94D-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1464063\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/27121513\/HarryKane27062026_ID3ERA94D-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/27121513\/HarryKane27062026_ID3ERA94D-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/27121513\/HarryKane27062026_ID3ERA94D-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/27121513\/HarryKane27062026_ID3ERA94D-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/27121513\/HarryKane27062026_ID3ERA94D-1-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/27121513\/HarryKane27062026_ID3ERA94D-1-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/27121513\/HarryKane27062026_ID3ERA94D-1-90x60.jpg 90w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/27121513\/HarryKane27062026_ID3ERA94D-1-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/27121513\/HarryKane27062026_ID3ERA94D-1-111x74.jpg 111w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-croatia-vs-ghana\">Croatia vs Ghana<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Croatia key stat: <\/strong>Croatia are seeking their sixth win from their last nine group stage games at the World Cup (W5 D2).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ghana key stat: <\/strong>The Black Stars could become the first African country to ever keep three clean sheets in the World Cup group stages.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/croatia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Croatia<\/a> bounced back from their 4-2 defeat to England by edging past Panama 1-0, keeping their qualification hopes alive heading into a decisive final Group L encounter with Ghana.

Victory, or even a draw if England lose, here could see them top the group and set a new national record of seven points in a single World Cup group stage, surpassing the six they collected on their tournament debut in 2006.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ghana are one of four countries &#8211; Mexico, Spain &amp; Argentina &#8211; yet to concede at the tournament so far and could become the first African
