HT: England 0-0 Ghana Analysis
No goals to report at the break. England has dominated possession and territory, but Ghana’s disciplined defensive display has kept the contest level heading into half-time.
Carlos Queiroz will be hoping his side show greater bravery in possession after the restart and offer more attacking intent in the final third.
For Thomas Tuchel, the message will likely be to maintain the same control and intensity while adding more sharpness and precision in front of goal.
