I'm waiting to see if they mention it now. I understand they're going to be pro England but to completely ignore reality is wild.

And finally they've noticed the bleeding fudging obvious.

Not mentioned that Pickford should have been off though.

Was clear when I watched it but I assumed there was some offside somewhere as it was obvious

They gave Semenyo offside but that came after the foul.

Terry definitely has that kit, and shin pads

Ghana were very good for the draw

Ghana had done their homework brilliantly and deserved that draw. The touches of the ball showed the story
Pickford 26
Spence 53
James 87
Guehi 144
Konsa 125
Anderson 92
Rice 69
Bellingham 40
Madueke 51
Gordon 41
Kane 20
Our most talented forward, Kane was not up for this one. He didn't fancy the physicality and wasn't looking for space or showing for the ball. Against Croatia he would happily drop deep and dictate play especially in that left channel. He was left on the pitch last night by Tuchel for the one magic moment and it nearly came. However, it didn't and he walked off that pitch with a 4 or 5 out of 10 performance. Hindsight is a wonderful thing but there is a good argument to say the Watkins or Toney approach might have been worth a punt once the pattern of play with Kane had been established.
I also thought Anderson was poor. So many touches but no bravery on the ball. Bellingham was also poor. He seemed to stop pounding round the pitch and being a nuisance. He just settled into a pattern of being just another body in the way.
You can also tell from these stats how ineffective our left side was with the Spence / Gordon partnership. I don't think the James / Madueke was much better to be fair but the channels improved significantly with the subs.
Disappointing result but we live to fight another day.
