- England were held to a 0-0 draw by Ghana at Boston Stadium, dropping points in their second World Cup group game
- England had overpowered Croatia in their first World Cup match but failed to repeat that attacking performance against a resolute Ghana side
- Ghana's organised defending frustrated England, with other coverage highlighting a possible penalty incident that went uncalled and crediting the visitors' commitment for the result
