29 Sep
Summary
- Czechia's 19-match unbeaten home run ended by Croatia's 2-1 victory.
- England lost 3-2 to Spain in their opening Nations League match.
- Morgan Rogers, in form at Chelsea, is a key attacking threat for England.
Czechia's formidable 19-match unbeaten run on home soil, stretching back to June 2022, was broken on Saturday by a 2-1 defeat to Croatia. This loss occurred in Santi Denia's first game as coach.
England also began their 2026/27 Nations League campaign with a loss, falling 3-2 to Spain at Wembley. Despite leading at halftime through goals from Anthony Gordon and Harry Kane, defensive errors allowed Spain to secure a comeback victory. Harry Kane also missed a second-half penalty.
Morgan Rogers, who has started strongly at Chelsea with 3 goals in 5 appearances, is anticipated to be a key player for England. His strong form, including assists, provides an attacking threat for the Three Lions.
The upcoming match between Czechia and England is the second fixture in Group A3 of the Nations League. Both teams are looking to recover from disappointing weekend results.
