Anthony Gordon struggles to impact England's World Cup matches

Anthony Gordon, who recently signed for Barcelona, has started both of England's World Cup 2026 matches. England won their opening game 4-1 against Croatia, but Gordon was substituted for Marcus Rashford before Rashford scored the fourth goal. In the next match, a 0-0 draw with Ghana, Gordon's performance was underwhelming, raising doubts about his starting position in the lineup. Emma Brown of Yahoo Sports outlined how Gordon, while viewed positively by figures like Thierry Henry, has yet to fulfill expectations at the tournament.
