Ghana Hold England in Tactical Reality Check

England and Ghana.
In World Cup Group L.

England were held to a 0-0 draw by Ghana in Boston, slowing their push to lock up Group L. Carlos Queiroz’s side frustrated Thomas Tuchel’s attack with a disciplined low block and man-marking on key creators.

Ghana refused to press high, denying England the space they exploited against Croatia. Kane said Thomas Partey tracked him closely, while England struggled to create in tight areas and lacked an obvious Plan B against deep defending.
