Marcus Rashford struggles in World Cup starting debut against Panama

Marcus Rashford started for England in their World Cup match against Panama on June 28, 2026, after two appearances from the bench. Despite England's 2-0 victory following goals from Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane, Rashford could not capitalize on his opportunity, failing to score or assist during the match. He completed a respectable number of passes with an 81% accuracy but struggled in one-on-one duels and lost possession frequently. England topped Group L and will face Congo in the Round of 32 next week, where Rashford's role is uncertain.
