Youngster (football teen) is clapping and explaining to his brother how difficult some actions are which is very sweet

Come on England!

CPandme · 23/06/2026 22:52

Wake up call of Englands actual quality (or lack of it) I didn’t have many expectations anyway, more interested in just watching good football

I think Ghana are rough
Can understand Bellingham being subbed before he lamped someone!

Rough? How so? Defensively?

Which we are not getting, good football.

With a few minutes to go England seemed to have suddenly woken up!

Bit pushy

That's good play for England. Six minutes to score a goal. And it's a corner!

Youngster claiming it’s been a great game!
No arguing with him
He’s the only one in the house that plays so think he watches different things

IAmKerplunk · 23/06/2026 22:57

Why do players pull their shorts up? Often just one of them

Lonelycrab · 23/06/2026 23:00

It’s going to be nil nil🤨

the80sweregreat · 23/06/2026 23:00

Ghana played well
Surprised England didnt lose tbh.

Glad he enjoyed it.

Rashford should have come on earlier. His arrival woke the team up.

Ghana were good, England didn’t deserve to win, even though I wish they had 😢

I'd love to know that answer 😉

Outstanding defensive performance by Ghana. Queiroz had them superbly drilled, as you would expect. It was a very physical game in which the ref let quite a lot go. I don’t have a problem with that as long as both teams are treated equally.

We didn’t create enough chances to deserve to win. Nobody is suggesting that playing against a well organised low block is easy, but we have all the talent & Tuchel is paid a lot of money to figure out a way. Tonight, we couldn’t & Ghana fully deserved their point. Well done to them.

Yes they did.
Ghana defended well, but were not really in the game. And that referee was slightly blind at time

Agreed.

Davros · 23/06/2026 23:03

I suggest you all go off and watch Mike Bassett, England Manager. It explains everything

What was the ref wearing under his top?!

lovecotswoldsliving · 23/06/2026 23:04

Typical English supporters
if this was Scotland they would be cheering for their team and saying we are still in with a chance.
