  "account": "England claimed their spot in the Nations League quarter-finals with a hard-fought 2-1 win over Croatia, while France suffered a surprising 3-1 loss to Italy. Harry Kane marked his 126th appearance for England by scoring the winning penalty at Wembley, bringing his total goals to 92. Morgan Rogers gave England the lead in the first half, but Croatia equalized through Petar Sucic in the hour mark via a mistake from Jarell Quansah. England regained the lead when Ivan Smolcic fouled Quansah at a corner, allowing Kane to convert the resulting penalty. Tuchel's side moved to 12 points from five matches in Group A3, securing their place in the quarter-finals next March. Spain topped the section with 15 points after a 2-0 win over the Czech Republic, while Italy and France were tied on 10 points with Belgium one point behind.",
