Dorset Residents Celebrate England Win with Decked Out Homes

Harry Kane’s stutter-step penalty drew criticism after a retake helped England secure a 4-2 win and reach 10 World Cup goals.

  • England defeated Croatia 4-2 in their Group L opener in Dallas on Thursday, with Harry Kane scoring a brace and Jude Bellingham and Marcus Rashford also finding the net.
  • Controversy surrounded Kane's 12th-minute penalty when his stutter-step run-up forced a retake after Croatian goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic moved early off his line.
  • Critics are calling for a ban on the tactic, arguing it unfairly forces defenders to encroach; Kane told BBC Sport he was "80 per cent sure" the keeper had moved.
  • Manager Thomas Tuchel delivered an inspiring halftime speech, with Kane revealing the team was told, "if we lose we lose, but we lose in our way."
  • Next Tuesday, England plays Ghana before facing Panama in their final group game, aiming to build on their commanding second-half performance.
