Fox Takes Shot at England's History of 'Struggles' in Massachusetts After Disappointing Ghana Draw
England controlled 78.8% possession and had 19 shots, but Ghana’s deep defense held firm and both teams likely advance with 4 points.
- On Tuesday, England was held to a 0-0 draw by Ghana in Boston during their second World Cup group-stage match, dominating 78.8 per cent possession but managing only three shots on target across 19 attempts.
- Ghana coach Carlos Queiroz, in charge for 71 days, implemented a rigid 5-4-1 defensive formation holding just 10 per cent possession, while England displayed 'second-game syndrome' after their 4-2 victory over Croatia in Arlington, Texas last week.
- England manager Thomas Tuchel delayed attacking changes until the 66th minute, introducing Bukayo Saka and Eberechi Eze, but Harry Kane missed a glaring late chance Tuchel described as 'normally a clear goal for us' and O'Reilly's header struck the crossbar.
- The draw leaves both teams on four points, advancing both to the knockout rounds, though Jude Bellingham admitted he did not deserve his man of the match award and Harry Kane told the BBC 'we take the point and move on.'
- England faces Panama next as overwhelming favorites to secure the group top spot, though Micah Richards criticized the team for lacking bravery while Kane acknowledged that deep defensive blocks used by Iran, Cabo Verde and the Socceroos represent a tactical reality England must accept.
