World Cup 2026: England played tournament’s best football, says Gary Neville - but France remain favourites

Gary Neville believes England produced the best football of the World Cup so far in their second-half display against Croatia, but remains unconvinced that Thomas Tuchel's side should be considered favourites for the tournament.

England recovered from a chaotic first half to beat Croatia 4-2 in their Group L opener, with Neville particularly impressed by the fluency and intensity of Tuchel's side after the break.
