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…

jamesshearman23103d ago
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

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
90' - Six minutes added on...
Can England win it late?
dale.odonnell103d ago
Drama? Bring it on...

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
78' - ENGLAND SAVED BY THE OFFSIDE FLAG
England have just been massively bailed out by the offside flag after Adu burst through on goal on the right-side of the penalty area. Just as he was about to shoot, Konsa leaped into a tackle with two feet and appeared to foul the sub. Luckily for the Villa man, Adu was offside...
freddie103d ago
I’m sure he wasn’t off and that was a pen?!

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

thatfan103d ago
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.
♥ 1
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
57' - MUCH BETTER FROM ENGLAND
After being shouted at by Thomas Tuchel, England's attackers haven woken up! Some nice play from Gordon and Spence on the right-flank led to a few pops a goal from Madueke and Gordon respectively. Neither troubled the goalkeeper, but it's a start...
No comments yet. Be the first.
55' - Let's give Senaya some props
The full-back has made light-work of Anthony Gordon so far. Could he be a potential summer signing for an English team if he continues this form?
freddie103d ago
It’s not hard! He’s so poor
charlesjones103d ago
Hope Barcelona kept their receipt for Gordon.

49' - A SCARE FOR ENGLAND
Ghana's POTM so far Marvin Senaya just burst in behind the England defence to latch onto a high through ball. His subsequent shot/cross was slightly wayward through and England were able to clear, but some worrying signs. Ghana's confidence is growing.
dancoombs103d ago
They have started this half with a little more ambition. Hopefully that opens up some space for us
How is Anderson anything like a £120m player? An absolute plodder

SECOND HALF KICK OFF
It can only get better...right? What's the first substitute you'd bring on for England if the dire football continues?
jackgallagher103d ago
Watkins on for a midfielder! Need pace in behind

😐 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
dancoombs103d ago
Not on target though 😢
dale.odonnell103d ago
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
gramorris103d ago
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
25' - Boos for the official hydration break...again
dale.odonnell103d ago
I sipped on my tea and booed from the couch.

21' - Hydration break? Sort of.
gramorris103d ago
Powerade sucks
seanfisher103d ago
Ridiculous they didn’t just make this the official hydration break. How annoying is this stop-start game!?

Madueke and James linking up well on the right
dancoombs103d ago
80 per cent possession for England
7' - As expected, it's all England so far
chillout103d ago
Boring.
dancoombs103d ago
That free-kick from Rice needed to be better
KICK OFF!

Marc Guehi replaces John Stones in the starting XI, is this now our strongest pairing?
daviescallum42103d ago
No chance. Stones + either of them
freddie103d ago
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
