The Black Stars secured a 1-0 victory over Panama in their opening game, courtesy of a late winner from Caleb Yirenkyi.
However, the performance left a number of Ghanaians unimpressed, with many calling for a significant improvement in the team's tactical approach ahead of a far tougher test against England.
Among those who expressed concern was rapper and songwriter Kwesi Arthur, who warned that Ghana risked humiliation if they failed to raise their game against the Three Lions.
Speaking to Kwadwo Sheldon in an interview shared on X, Kwesi Arthur said:
"Looking at the first game we played, I do not have confidence. If we play the same way we did against Panama, we will be humiliated."
