Thomas Tuchel’s team struggled to make it back-to-back wins in the tournament, as Ghana showed tenacity and defiance to get a 0-0 draw. Ghana, with head coach Carlos Queiroz, was well drilled and stuck to their game plan throughout. Ghana set up with a low block and made it very difficult for England to create any clear-cut chances.
Does England Have a Plan B?
It was not until the 57th minute that England finally got a shot on target. England may have dominated possession, but Ghana would not allow England to get any rhythm in their play and frustrated them the whole match. Ghana are one of four teams that have not conceded in the competition so far, and it is clear to see why.
England captain Harry Kane managed only 19 touches in the game, the lowest total he has ever had in a 90-minute match for England. There will be some observers asking the question, “Where is Cole Palmer or Phil Foden?” These creative players can unlock tight defences.
