I've seen that game before.  In every tournament.

We looked better when Saka, Rashford and Morgan came on but not good enough. Madueke was a waste of space. Ghana thoroughly deserved the draw.

Jesus wept. What a terrible waste of money and effort.

With the Pickford incident and then the Konsa incident, I think England were lucky to get a draw out of that.

I’m here and this World Cup has been outstanding. The USA slander is just nonsense at this point.

England looked a rabble in that second half. Did Eze end up in CM?

Absolutely appalling performance.

Anderson and his price tag continues to baffle me. Absolutely shite against us and can't pass a ball forwards for England. Hundred million?

Gordon and Madueke are desperate. Can't beat a man, cannot cross the ball.

Bellingham totally anonymous.

Just utterly slow, predictable. Fucking dreadful viewing.

Ghana defended well but the attack was shit for 70 odd mins and then didn't do enough when they finally could play. And when a team is locking up like that, set pieces are needed and they were atrocious for most of it.

I think the draw was fair enough. Not great, but not a disaster.

Ghana played really well. Mostly poor from England, but they didn't really need to win.

Just one of those forgettable and ultimately meaningless group games. I mean, Argentina lost to the Saudis in 2022.

How England could have done with Pau Torres!
