International Magpies: Burn's England beat Costa Rica | OneFootball

Newcastle United have two representatives in the England squad at this summer's FIFA World Cup finals, with Livramento and Burn selected by Thomas Tuchel. Harry Kane's first half header sealed a 1-0 win against New Zealand at the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa on Saturday, with the Magpies pair both playing the second half.

And they followed up that win with a comfortable 3-0 triumph over Costa Rica at the Inter&Co Stadium in Orlando on Wednesday, with former United man Anthony Gordon scoring one and providing an assist. Burn entered the fray for the final 20 minutes, with Livramento an unused substitute. The Three Lions then kick off their Group L campaign by facing Croatia at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on Wednesday 17 June before a game against Ghana six days later at Boston Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts.

The Magpies captain has been named in Brazil's 26-man squad ahead of the tournament, with Carlo Ancelotti's side facing two friendlies before competing in the competition for a record-extending 23rd time.

Goals from Vinícius Júnior, Casemiro, Rayan, Lucas Paquetá, Igor Thiago and Danilo sealed a 6-2 win against Panama in their first warm-up game, with Guimarães playing the opening 45 minutes at the Maracanã.

The five-time world champions claimed a 2-1 victory against on Egypt on Saturday, with Bruno opening the scoring inside six minutes at the FirstEnergy Stadium in Pennsylvania before being substituted at the break as Endrick's second-half strike proved the difference.

William Osula

Osula, who scored nine goals in all competitions for the Magpies this season, has been named in the Denmark squad for two friendlies in June.

The 22-year-old was handed his senior international debut during a goalless draw against DR Congo on Wednesday evening, playing the second half at Stade Maurice Dufrasne in Liège, Belgium.

Osula was awarded his first senior start during Sunday's friendly against Ukraine but the game was abandoned at the Nature Energy Park in Odense as Christian Eriksen, who suffered a cardiac arrest during a EURO 2020 match, collapsed in the 65th minute before gaining consciousness.

Nick Woltemade and Malick Thiaw

The United duo have been included in Germany's squad for this summer's FIFA World Cup finals, marking the pair's first selections for a major tournament.

Julian Magelsmann's side recorded an emphatic 4-0 win against Finland at the Mewa Arena on Sunday, their first of two warm-up games. Woltemade was introduced from the bench in the 73rd minute in Mainz while Thiaw was an unused substitute.

Germany, who last won the World Cup in 2014, claimed a 2-1 win against USA at Soldier Field in Chicago on Saturday but the Newcastle duo were both unused substitutes.

Drawn in Group E, Die Mannschaft open their tournament with a game against World Cup debutants Curaçao at the NRG Stadium in Houston on Sunday 14 June (kick-off 6pm BST) before travelling to Toronto to face the Ivory Coast at BMO Field on Saturday 20 June.

They round off the group stage with a clash with Ecuador at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on Thursday 25 June. Both of their final two group games kick off at 9pm BST.

Alex Murphy

The Galway-born defender has been handed his first senior international call-up with Republic of Ireland ahead of their upcoming fixtures against Qatar and Canada.

The Boys in Green claimed a narrow 1-0 win against Qatar at Dublin's Aviva Stadium on Thursday evening courtesy of Nathan Collins' early header.

Ireland were held to a 1-1 draw against Canada at the Saputo Stadium in Montreal on Saturday evening but the 21-year-old, who made his first competitive start for the Magpies in February's Champions League victory against Qarabağ FK at St. James' Park, did not appear from the bench.

Anthony Elanga

Elanga has been named in Sweden's 26-man squad for this summer's World Cup finals, with Graham Potter's side facing two friendlies in preparation for the star-studded competition.

Sweden suffered a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Norway on Monday night, with Elanga playing the opening half at the Ullevaal Stadium in Oslo.

Three days later, Blågult were held to a 2-2 draw against Greece at the Friends Arena as Giorgos Masouras' stoppage-time leveller prevented a win for the hosts, with Elanga appearing from the bench in the 63rd minute.

Blågult face Tunisia in their opening World Cup Group F fixture on Sunday 14 June at Estadio BBVA in Guadalupe (kick-off 3am BST) before taking on the Netherlands six days later at the NRG Stadium in Houston (kick-off 6pm BST).

Sweden, World Cup finalists in 1958, will face Japan in their final group game on Friday 26 June at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington (kick-off 12am BST).

Yoane Wissa

Wissa will be heading to the World Cup for the first time after being selected for DR Congo's 26-man squad.

Before their first appearance at a World Cup finals since 1974, the Leopards were held to a stalemate against Osula's Denmark in Belgium, with Wissa playing 87 minutes in his 37th senior outing for his country.

Their World Cup preparations have been disrupted, however, as their warm-up match against Chile was cancelled due to an Ebola outbreak in the African nation.

DR Congo kick off their Group K campaign against Portugal on Wednesday 17 June at the NRG Stadium in Houston (kick-off 6pm BST) before taking on Colombia at the Estadio Akron on Wednesday 24 June (kick-off 3am BST).

The African outfit go head-to-head with Uzbekistan in their final group game on Sunday 28 June at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta (kick-off 12:30am BST).

Rory Finneran

Finneran received a first senior international call-up for Republic of Ireland ahead of their international friendly against Grenada this month.

The 18-year-old midfielder, who has featured for Newcastle's under-21s side this season, travelled to Murcia, Spain to link up with Heimir Hallgrímsson's squad and made his senior bow during the Boys in Green's 5-0 victory against Grenada on Saturday, appearing from the bench in the closing stages.

Finneran, who captained his country at last year's FIFA U17 World Cup finals in Qatar, became the seventh-youngest player of the post-war era to play for Republic of Ireland at senior level.
