A Southgate-led England would have rolled over these. Shame on Tuchel.

Same Southgate that drew 0-0 to Scotland in the second game of Euro 2020 and 0-0 to the USA in the second game of Qatar 2022

 

And 1-1 against Denmark in the second game of Euro 2024 and 0-0 against Slovenia in the third game of Euro 2024

Let’s rip into England because we couldn’t win against 10 men on the line… Ghana did f all… good for them, but won’t progress 

They have almost definitely qualified already

With 4 points, they are very likely to progress

[JonnyZeroFox]

In tournament’s before, we are happy with that. Dominate first game, point against a team purely to play anti football… shit happens 

[CrispinLA in Texas]

Blame Tuchel....some of this choices for the squad are poor...we needed someone with world cup experience like Maguire coming on with later on in the game, who's very good getting va late headed goal

[RowlattsFox]

England are good against decent sides, but not the best teams. Teams like Croatia. Struggle against overly defensive sides, especially if they can defend.

Ghana did what they needed to do and will progress, get your head out your arse

[when_you're_smiling]

Yeah, the lack of creating stuff is annoying and worrying, but can’t see how you beat the best in the world with Konsa and Pickford. Even an ultra defensive side made them look shaky and either could have been sent off.

Harvey Barnes is better than Gordon. 

I wish he was out there

And then have absolutely no answers when we come up against real quality. Surely we want to break old patterns of what we're happy with else we might as well have kept Southgate on

It isn’t the same  we were more progressive, but just didn’t find the right ball. The press was there, and Ghana just put in a great defensive display.. guess what teams have done it against Barca, real, arsenal and Man City it happens 

[Reynaldo]

That was like watching Leicester 

[Nalis]

Ghana back 5 were immense, world class save from the goalie on that Sake chance

[whoareyaaa]

Was always gonna happen after the first game.

 

Should beat Panama, hopefully he makes a change to the starting 11

[RowlattsFox]

He's not a natural speaker but I do think Rooney is trying to be a informative pundit.

It does happen, but those teams are also criticised when it does. It isn't the end of the world by any stretch of the imagination but can't pretend it was good

 

Hopefully we learn something from it

The Ghanaian Guinness mocked us again.

[JonnyZeroFox]

You have a bad game in a 8 game tournament, people can laugh and that but honestly, Ghana didn’t lay a glove and come purely to play 11 behind… you can’t get away with that when extra time… we proved it at euro 2024

Please, let's not see Madueke again start. He is dire. Gordon has been a disappointment as well. 

Madueke was average at Chelsea and poor at Arsenal this season...but still gets in the England squad 🤷🏽

Every tournament

Why are you obsessed with what Ghana go on to do?

And I do, I just get frustrated with those suddenly saying we can’t win the World Cup because Ghana played like supermen at the back. Did we work the ball fast enough, ask them enough, no but improvement is part of tournament football. In previous tournaments I’ll be happy with 4 points from two
