Two XIs, one goal: reacting to England’s 1-0 win vs New Zealand

England's final World Cup warm-up ends with a win, and perhaps most importantly: no injuries. Ali Maxwell and George Elek react to England's 1-0 victory over New Zealand in Florida, where Harry Kane's 79th England goal settled a game that saw Thomas Tuchel give minutes to two entirely different XIs across the two halves. They discuss the performances of Marcus Rashford, Djed Spence and Elliot Anderson, and a hugely encouraging senior debut for 17-year-old Rio Ngumoha. Plenty of questions still remain - but this game will have little impact on what happens in 10 days time, so let's not take it too seriously eh? Anyone for a hard tea?

Robyn Cowen & Kathryn Batte pick through it. They discuss whether Spain were too good for England and why Serena Wiegman's side struggled both in and out of possession. Plus: what now needs to happen against Ukraine — and in Iceland — to keep hopes of direct qualification alive. Learn more about your ad choices.
