A so, so typical England World Cup group game… Felt like travelling to an away game as thousands queued for trains at 9am for the 45 minute ride to Foxborough Stadium. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plenty of food and drink places around the shopping mall at the stadium though. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

England 0\u20130 Ghana<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Brief Match Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

England dominated possession (almost 79%) but struggled to break down a disciplined Ghana defence. The best chances came late on when substitute Nico O\u2019Reilly headed against the crossbar and Harry Kane blazed the rebound over from close range. Ghana threatened on the counterattack but neither side could find a winner. The draw leaves England top of Group L on four points from two matches.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Key Moments<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • 86\u2019 O\u2019Reilly header hits the bar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • 86\u2019 Kane misses the rebound from six yards.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Ghana\u2019s defensive organisation frustrated England throughout.  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Not the worst result, but certainly a frustrating night after the 4\u20132 win over Croatia. A draw against Panama on Saturday will still be enough to send England through to the Round of 32.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
