Speaking in a post-match interview, Harry Kane reflected on the game and remarked that Ghana were one of “these types of nations”, content with securing a draw and wasting time.
"I think whenever you come against these type of nations where they are looking for a kind of a 0-0 like they did today, they are looking to waste a bit of time and win fouls," he said.
The England captain later took to Facebook on June 23 to thank supporters for their backing and reflect on the team's next challenge.
"Take the point and move on! Thank you as always for the support! Moving onto NY!"
England will take on Panama on Saturday, June 27, 2026, at MetLife Stadium, while the Black Stars will face Croatia at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on the same day.

"England expected three points. Ghana offered them a guided tour around the stadium."
