Overview
- England beat New Zealand 1-0 in Tampa on Saturday with Harry Kane scoring the lone goal from a first-half header.
- Kane said the squad have been acclimatising in Florida and that the heat "won't be a factor" for England at the tournament.
- Manager Thomas Tuchel named different lineups in each half to evaluate players and will hold a final warm-up against Costa Rica before the team relocates to its Kansas City base.
- Local fans and British expats criticised high ticket prices and the choice of the 69,000-seat Raymond James Stadium, and organisers moved supporters into lower tiers and shut off higher sections to improve atmosphere.
- Tournament changes to protect players include FIFA-mandated three-minute hydration breaks during each half and a 48-team format that organisers and analysts say could alter pace and lower scoring, which teams are preparing for in warm-up matches.
