In Dallas, beneath the weight of a World Cup opener, England found themselves caught between ambition and anxiety — twice leading Croatia, twice letting the lead dissolve.

The second half answered with four goals and a kind of clarity that suggests this team, when freed from fear, may be capable of something meaningful.
