England v Ghana

Laugh was at Steve Sofa

Turned it off

Few shots from outside the box needed imo . loosen that D up a bit

We had the can Ronnie score 3 exhibition and Now this Rubbish

gordon got his barca contract all signed off ?  they might be having 2nd thoughts ..

Hope he brings on Harry Kane for the second half.

here we go The excitement is Building

So DJ Ed Spence refused to shake hands with therapist?  Respect.

*Partey.

England looking very average here.

not sure what Tuchel can do to change it up. Too many players are playing badly. Can't replace all of them.

That chance Ghana just had ended up with us in the right back
position with acres & we just walked it out,no quick counter,nothing.

On target

Clueless

But will score

Complete and utter pony and that's me being polite.

Kane is some embarassement. Diving at every chance

maduke is f**ing useless get him off and Gordon and James and spence

Bet ha aint touched the ball 1/2  dozwn times.

Normal service has been resumed, it was a bit much expecting England to play 2 decent games on the trot.
  Gordon has been missing.

Pickford Just wiped him out

What's Pickford doing?

The REf has his Union Jack underpants on

pickford pretending he's got a broken leg to get the decision

.... That was what I thought Tobe.

he thinks he's key to the way England play, Emma said so.

Corrupt ref.

VAR was fine with that i guess

holding his leg waving for an ambulance.  free kick england.

actually it's not as bad as i thought ....

0-0 backers in yet more clover. every 0-0 so far has been where there was a big fav

The Qureioz bus could be there all night

Centre halves are getting the ball they are so slow,then just
passing it 5Yrds side wards.

Was waiting for the Red for pickford tbh

Bellingham off

starting to big panama up already ...

Surprised Madueke is still out there

Got to be worth giving Watkins a run out last 15/20.

very

kane seriously wanting to play on there ?  very sporting

has to score, has to. 

should be 1-0 the Ghanarians.

good job this is being shown after the watershed.

they should realise that this ref isn't giving them free kicks for getting brushed off the ball

Semenyo,great defending son

Pickford all over the show again

Did Konsa not foul him?

Can recall
Turnip put on Taylors head in current bun we’ve done nothing  in this game

think the ghanarian boys unlucky not to get a pen, england defender dived in got zero ball.

looked a pemalty from behind the goal

Commentators didn't even mention possible pen.

Began to doubt myself, had to rewind, blatant pen

What is that on Rashford's chin?

That was Konsa.

Well that was complete and utter rubbish. Worst game I've seen in quite some time. 0-0FT.

Not even on target.

Kane thought he was an NFL kicker

Everyone online saying stonewall penalty for Ghana

Absolutely dire commentary that it is not even mentioned.

Rashford has produced more in 5 minutes than Madueke did in 80

I'D need to see it again, trouble is they don't show many replays.

Commentators didn't even mention possible pen.

VAR is ****.

r1gged

Embarrassing effort this. Might kill a lot of the ridiculous hype around this bunch of players though.

wales drew 1-1 with this lot 3 weeks ago. 

do they even play football in wales ?

some starters tonight have played their way out the side

I would've thought Watkins would be given a go tonight.
Really disappointing tonight,created nish.

ah well, a reality check won't do any harm at this stage.

if it was 96m and they made a sub during the extra 6m, surely it doesn't finish bang on 96m ?   

think that's what kane was saying to him.

England have a nerve to be complaining about that ref!

1.15 to win the group.  not a given.

I never want to see Spence again. Is there a stat on how many backwards passes a player makes? If so that clown aced it.

All this 'reality check' is nonsense - no team will be in form for 6 weeks - the team USA silliness is hilarious. Ghana aren't crap and its pretty easy to defend if the other team isn't firing. Imagine if Ghana had tried to win the game!

Insipid but great for us unders and 0-0 backers

Biggest win of the world cup so far. Never really a moments doubt. Crazy markets

How many millions on that pitch, and they couldn't find one moment of quality to unlock a hard working, and organised Ghana. Woke up a little bit in the last ten minutes, but before that it was for the most part slow and boring. The exact opposite of incisive football.

turned it off after 15 minutes ...it was like watching a BAD league 2 match .

only other game i did that was Switzerland v Qatar .... that went off after only 10

Same old ,plus decent performance from Ghana , move on

Everyone online saying stonewall penalty for Ghana

Absolutely dire commentary that it is not even mentioned.

still not mentioned it

10 minutes into the post game analysis and still no mention of the blatant pen Ghana didn't get, or the straight red Pickford should have got.

Awful game, England poor until the 85th min, totally agree with earlier comments, looked a pen to Ghana for me, not mentioned by the comms, or checked by VAR.

showing it now.  that is 100% a penalty.

Just seen it. It was a pen

Finally discussing it.

LOL at people thinking VAR missed that pen by some genuine error

you telling me the VAR team watched that challenge and didn't think about telling the ref to go over to the monitor and have a look ??

it's a penalty all day long, anyone can see it.  that must be corruption.

that must be corruption.

Its as bad as Olympic boxing ffs

Yep deffo Pen , Pickfords Challenge also need looking at

I thought penalty on first view and after the replay.... I'm English so Fk-em...

they brought that weird ref analyst bloke on.  what ya think ?  it is a stonewall penalty gabby.

right off you pop.  ok, back to the highlights.  wayne .. what did you think about the midfield

Won't be given now.

It is dire analysis. Endlessly asking "how did England not win that game", instead of thank god that ref gifted us a point.

The ref analyst does have a Friend of Dorothy vibe

the ghana boy didn't help himself.  did he even claim ?  should've been straight back on his feet running after the ref giving him the VAR sign. 

just got up, yeah chopped me down with a flying leap from behind, nowhere near the ball.

nothing worth claiming there.

Yeah, Ghana didn't help themselves there

A very Southgate performance but should still top the group. More important not to lose it than to win it. Crossing balls in all night was clueless. Needed to draw them out a bit on the counter and then hit them quickly but pinned them in and played like Arsenal in possession.

engerland players be on fifth of wages if they were from anywhere else

if you're giving anthony gordon €346,000 a week you're probably sitting there expecting to watch him giving the ghanarians a masterclass.

Gordon has been manure all season at Newcastle. He gets a pass from the media for scoring a few pens against the Dog & Duck in the Champions league.

In the prem, he has put in zero effort and is a disgrace obviously trying to get a move. His attitude stinks as well. Not a team player.

Its tragic really that someone who was superb like Lewis Hall couln';t make this squad but the likes of Gordon does.

Add in that Konsa looks to be one of the worst defenders in this tournament

A long overdue reality check for England, their supporters and the media.

It was Tuchel who decided we didn't need Palmer or Foden.

And some serious questions need to be asked about the VAR.

Horrible game to watch. Ghana parking the bus and made up with the point though they could have got more if that pen was given. Which it most definitely should have. A wake up call for the champs elect after beating Dads army. SOme poor poor performances out there last night.

Palmer and Foden wouldn't have made any difference in this game, it's a set up that stymies most of the better sides, because unless you are Spain 2010 who could break down low blocks because they were able to pass and move, at pace, dragging everyone around creating space at will, you're stuck.

This is wide Tuchel needs the games to be end to end EPL games, because there is space everywhere and the need for technical excellence is lessened.

We'll be better against a side who want to attack us but will still be vulnerable to the counter.

What's with the Konsa haters ? I thought he was Englands man of the match.

Shoulda gone long from the half way line.
