England held to 0-0 draw by Ghana in Foxborough

Ghana held England to a 0-0 draw at Foxborough in World Cup Group L, with Harry Kane missing a late chance as Thomas Tuchel's side dominated possession but failed to score. England controlled much of the ball yet produced no shots on target in the first half and generated few clear-cut opportunities, leaving Jordan Pickford largely untested. The result leaves England and Ghana level on four points in Group L, England with a +2 goal difference and Ghana with +1 while Croatia sit on three points. England's inability to finish chances threatens their bid for top spot and gives Ghana momentum heading into the final group matches.

There have been four 0-0 draws in this World Cup and they have all been absolutely electric

This is England’s 17th World Cup. They’ve now had a 0-0 draw in the group stage of 10 of them (or 11 if you include the second group stage in 1982). It’s just what they do.

0-0 draws are goofy. instead, play extra time, removing two players every 5 min until only the keepers remain 1 v 1

Fifa implements hydration breaks and they don’t even consider this, smh

I think they should track “displays of weakness” every time someone writhes in pain for no good reason, and whoever has the fewest of those wins in a tied score.

Every time a team scores, they get to eat one of the other team. Makes draws less likely, saves on paying players

Last year our kid's parks soccer team made it to the final of their little division, which ended in a tie, at which point everyone learned (including coaches! Only the refs knew) that the league overtime rules were almost literally this! It was wild

"Ghana have never beaten England, but as we know the English historically struggle here in Massachusetts" Is that a soccer reference or a Revolutionary War reference? 🇬🇭 🇬🇭 🇬🇭

Every country deserves a chance to beat England.

The language. The English have trouble with the language in Massachusetts.

From @theathleticfc.bsky.social: England struggled to a 0-0 draw against Ghana in their second match at this World Cup after wasting chances late on to win. It was the first match of the 2026 World Cup not to have a single shot on target in the first half.

Had a blast with my favorite son today, watching England play Ghana in the World Cup in Boston. Sadly, it was a 0-0 tie. But the real win was taking him to the game for his birthday. Lots of memories made!

See, this is why I hate the best 3rd-place format. Despite the middling performance, a 0-0 draw here will functionally put England through to the knockout stages. Just so much less jeopardy at the group stage.
