England’s preparations for their World Cup 2026 opener against Croatia have been given more unwelcome disruption after a tornado warning in Kansas City.
Thomas Tuchel and his squad have been forced to shelter inside due to the threat of weather near their training base, with a heavy storm lashing the city. It followed the theft of training equipment prior to their arrival, although most items have now been recovered as England gear up for their first game in Group L.
Already underway are Scotland, winners at a World Cup for the first time in 36 years after a nervy 1-0 success against Haiti. The Scots top Group C thanks to John McGinn’s goal after Brazil and Morocco had earlier shared a draw, and three points could yet be enough to take them into the knockout rounds. Sunday sees two more possible contenders get going, with Germany and the Netherlands in action later as the World Cup rolls on.
