Will Thomas Tuchel stick with the same team that beat Croatia 4-2 in Dallas last week?
My feeling on this is that he probably will and should stick with the same team.
I'm not sure that Bukayo Saka, who missed training yesterday, will be ready to start against Ghana.
And so unless he's got any specific injury concerns about other players, I would imagine he'd go all out for the Ghana game.
And then if England managed to get through that and they could well win the group on Tuesday, maybe it would then come to make some changes for the Panama game in New Jersey, which is England's third match, just to keep players as fresh as possible going into the knockout rounds.
The other question going into the Ghana game is the weather.
Obviously, there's been so much talk in the last few weeks about the heat here, whether it would be too hot for England to play their Premier League style.
And then in England's last game against Croatia in Dallas in an air-conditioned stadium, England were able to play at full intensity.
But the weather forecast for Boston the next few days is rain.
So I just wonder whether that familiar climactic conditions could allow England to play their natural Premier League style against Ghana.

I'm here outside the Dallas Stadium where England just got their World Cup campaign underway with, I think, a pretty impressive 4-2 win over Croatia.

It was an interesting game.

England were pretty poor in the first half, much, much better in the second half after Tuchel told them that it doesn't really matter if you lose, it's all about playing our way.
matched
And England came out and they did play the Thomas Tuchel way.
matched
They were intense, they were aggressive, they won the ball back quickly.
matched
They played with that kind of high intensity style that Tuchel's been talking about ever since he took over.

The big question really is, can they do this in their next few games?
matched
Next up, it's Ghana in Boston, and then it's Panama in New Jersey.
matched
They won't have the benefit of the air-conditioned stadium here.
matched
And I just wonder whether they will be able to play with the same running, the same pressing, the same high intensity that they showed in this game.
