England were undeterred by a thunderstorm that delayed their final World Cup warm-up friendly as they beat Costa Rica 3-0 in Orlando on Wednesday. Anthony Gordon was the star of the show with a goal and an assist as he made his case to start ahead of Marcus Rashford in England's World Cup opener against Croatia on June 17. Kick-off was postponed by one hour after torrential rain and lightning in Florida left the pitch at the at the Inter&Co Stadium heavily waterlogged ahead of the planned 4pm (2000 GMT) kick-off time. The experience could prove helpful to Thomas Tuchel's side in the coming weeks with weather delays expected to play a prominent part in the first ever 48-team World Cup, which begins on Thursday. Tuchel appeared to signal his team selection for the Croatia clash as he named a strong side and held off on substitutions until just after the hour mark. Gordon and Jude Bellingham were the big winners as the latter edged ahead of Morgan Rogers in the battle to start behind Harry Kane in attack.
