Didn't you see that they denied Ghana's penalty

johnverrall11103d ago

Yeah, I think we were fortunate that it wasn’t given

gramorris103d ago

The one where the England defender had two feet off the ground, out of control, missed the ball and got the man? 50/50, stay with the refs decision who spent most of the game behind the action

Did anyone else think Ezri Konsa was VERY lucky not to give away a penalty? 🤔

VAR have had a few howlers this tournament that have gone under the radar. That might be rhe worst of the lot

lrandall1210103d ago

i think cause there was no appeal, the Ghana player just got up like nothing happened

England set an all-time World Cup record vs Ghana - But it's not a good one ⚠️

We leave you with this shocking statistic... Was this just a freak aberration or do England have problems?

gramorris102d ago

Highlights make it look better than it was https://youtube.com/shorts/pGmI7t2BUrc?si=1kAFZFVVZupW0NU8

adam98williams103d ago

Set pieces not up to the standards we’ve come to expect last night either. Nine corners and 24 free kicks. Could have been the difference on another day.

kierandoody103d ago

We need to get better at playing against a low block. We will play against teams doing exactly the same thing into the early stages of the knockouts. You can’t play through the middle like we tried to do last night there just isn’t the space.

Is Harry Kane's late miss among the worst you have seen from an England player?

Can you name a worse one?

If it was baseball it would have been a great shot…

That was a Liam Delap classic. 0 composure - just put his foot through it.

We want to hear your PLAYER RATINGS for England...

Did ANYONE stand out for good reasons?

jackdrury103d ago

Rice was way worse than a 6/10, although not his fault, he looks out on his feet. The only real worry that came from the game for me

jamie.brown82103d ago

Pickford 4 Spence 5 Guehi 6 Konsa 5 James 4 Rice 6 Anderson 6 Bellingham 6 Gordon 2 Madueke 3 Kane 3

jamesshearman23103d ago

Wouldn’t give Madueke more than a 4. He was frustrating AGAIN.

BE HONEST: Do you think Jordan Pickford should've been sent off in the 0-0 draw with Ghana?

He was given a free-kick instead...

jamie.brown82103d ago

Ghana players foot was high on his shin, if anything was a red the other way!

dale.odonnell103d ago

Yes, didn’t play the ball. Clear obstruction and red card worthy as it denied a goal scoring opportunity.

freddie103d ago

Nah I don’t think so. The Ghana player didn’t get the ball, if he did it would have been a foul, instead they BOTH just ran into each other

😳 FULL-TIME: 0-0… Just how disappointed were you with that England performance? Still think we can win it?

glstark16103d ago

No chance of winning the World Cup! Said it when Tutchel was appointed manager and I’ll not change my mind. Players not good enough as well. Think we are all dreaming of the past

jordanellis776103d ago

Where’s our creative players, Thomas…

Three of the very worst games I’ve watched in my life have been England 2nd group matches at World Cups. Algeria in 2010 USA in 2022 Ghana in 2026 Remind me to not bother in 2030.

callum_boyle103d ago

That Scotland Euro 2020 one also needs a mention. Was good medicine to help sleep in this heat though

dantowen81951103d ago

Haha Algeria 😂all I remember from that was a big bird of some kind landing on the Algeria crossbar and then Rooney staring into my soul down the camera lens

86' - ENGLAND HIT THE CROSSBAR

O'Reilly gets up well at the back post but can only find the crossbar with his resulting header. Better from England.

james.brooke103d ago

Unbelievable Kane missed that

dale.odonnell103d ago

Kane had to score in the aftermath... golden opportunity.

85' - RASHFORD ON FOR ENGLAND

The winger has come on for Madueke.

dale.odonnell103d ago

Too late from Tuchel. Also overlooked Mainoo when he's exactly the profile of midfielder England have been crying out for in this game.

dancoombs103d ago

Not much time to make an impact

70' - MORE ATTACKING ENGLAND SUBSTITUTIONS

This time it's Morgan Rogers and Eberechi Eze coming on for Elliot Anderson and Jude Bellingham. Time for Rogers to win back his starting role?

gramorris103d ago

Diabolical set pieces

callum_boyle103d ago

Declan Rice does not look fit at all. Needs to be taken off

Come on Saka.. lets turn up the tempo

67' - PICKFORD MAY HAVE JUST GOT VERY LUCKY...

The goalkeeper stormed out to try and cut off a through ball to Prince Kwabena Adu on the edge of the box. Instead of getting the ball, he seemed to clatter Adu instead. The result? A free-kick to England...we're not sure either...

gramorris103d ago

Konsa got lucky too. That one was potentially a pen

dale.odonnell103d ago

Thought Pickford got away lucky. Made zero effort to play the ball, and it was a blatant obstruction.

thatfan103d ago

VERY lucky! Could easily have been a free kick the other way and Pickford picking up a card

64' - ENGLAND SUBSTITUTIONS

Nico O'Reilly and Bukayo Saka are on for Djed Spence and Anthony Gordon. Was this the right call from Tuchel?

jackgallagher103d ago

Can't him for taking off Spence and Gordon, both terrible today

dancoombs103d ago

It was time to make the changes, let’s see if they work. We should be a better team with Saka on

😐 HALF-TIME: 0-0. What does Thomas Tuchel need to say to the England players at half-time?

johnverrall11103d ago

Difficult breaking down teams that play that deep. Even Spain struggled vs Cape Verde. Give it time

markmarston103d ago

Stay patient… there’s no need to rush anything. If Ghana want to set up like this then fine… they’ll tire by the hour mark and the game will open up. Stay calm!

dale.odonnell103d ago

Wonder when Tuchel will realise it was a mistake to start Gordon again?

48' - KANE'S FIRST SHOT ON GOAL

Not on target though 😢

Need to see more from Kane and co in the second half of England are to win this.

45' - Six minutes added on at the end of the half

gramorris103d ago

Quieroz the football killer

dancoombs103d ago

Well we need about 600 more to score at this rate

Booooooooo 😂

40' - YELLOW CARD FOR RICE

dale.odonnell103d ago

I don’t think Rice can have many complaints about that yellow card.

james.brooke103d ago

Looked worse on the replay but can’t really argue

33' - England's build-up play needs three things:

jackgallagher103d ago

Any time they play quicker, they look like they'll score

freddie103d ago

This game is screaming out for like a prime Sterling! Madueke just isn’t it, neither is Gordon

Ridiculous they didn’t just make this the official hydration break. How annoying is this stop-start game!?

Marc Guehi replaces John Stones in the starting XI, is this now our strongest pairing?

daviescallum42103d ago

No chance. Stones + either of them

Absolutely! (Minus Slabhead)

Here's Ghana's XI! Do they have the quality to beat England? Who is the key player?

freddie103d ago

Inaki Williams! Give him a chance, he’ll bury it. Quality ST

dancoombs103d ago

Semenyo is the easy answer here, but I’m intrigued to see more of Yirenkyi who scores their winner and has been linked to the top Premier League sides
