Bellingham at number 10? Will Saka start? It's decision time for Tuchel

England's final friendly before the World Cup was delayed by violent storms rattling around Orlando's Inter&Co Stadium â but when it finally got under way it was well worth the wait for head coach Thomas Tuchel.
Tuchel was unhappy with England's lack of intensity in their opening friendly against New Zealand in Tampa, the 1-0 win effectively a glorified training session as he fielded two different teams in each half.
The meeting with Costa Rica was a sharp contrast, a fierce physical test with plenty of helpful pointers for Tuchel before England face Croatia in Dallas on 17 June.
When asked by BBC Radio 5 Live after the game whether his starting line-up on Wednesday would be the same as for that opening group game, he answered simply: "Maybe."
The German then added: "But we will always keep our cards in our hand. We will not give any decisions away because my thoughts at the moment are not for Croatia, they're for here today.
"It was a very strong line-up but it was a very strong bench as well."
So what will Tuchel be considering before he names his starting line-up?
