World Cup 2026: England v Ghana – team news, selection debate & weather update
England were held to a frustrating 0-0 draw with Ghana following a tepid and lacklustre performance from Thomas Tuchel’s squad throughout.
The Three Lions struggled to break down the low block of Ghana and were forced to wait until the 57th minute before registering their first shot on target.
Tuchel searched for a reaction after making five substitutes – with one of them in the form of Nico O’Reilly coming closest when his header hit the bar – but were ultimately forced to settle for a point on an evening where they looked off the pace in Boston.
A bystander for most of the fixture and was not forced into making a save but was very, very lucky to get away with a rash challenge on the edge of his box, which could have swayed a tight fixture in Ghana’s favour.
Pickford raced out of his area and collided with Prince Adu when the Ghana forward raced through on goal. Luckily for him and England, the referee sided with the goalkeeper.
