Key takeaways

  • Published13 minutes ago History shows us why there is no need to panic about England's draw with Ghana on Tuesday, but also underlines why it is important we immediately bounce back.
  • Since 2006, every World Cup winner has dropped points in their first or second group game - but what they have also done each time is go on to win their group.
  • I am confident England will do that too, by beating Panama on Saturday, but I would not be surprised if Thomas Tuchel makes three or even four changes to his team after such a disappointing result and performance.

Why this matters: a developing story that could shape the day's news cycle.
