Second worst match of the tournament i think, maybe the worst. That Panama - Ghana game made me feel ill as a lover of football. England were so dominant and did absolutely nothing with it, felt like the Spain - Cape Verde game but then with 90% less chances created. Just nothing going on to attack, constantly passing. I think in around minute 25 it was 300 passes vs 30 passes, and that pretty much continued the whole game. Rashford only subbed on in minute 82 is diabolical, you need someone like him early on because he does create those chances. Ghana is shit. Really really really shit. Last game was disastrous, this game somehow worse. I dont know how they do it, they have Semenyo and Iñaki Williams which are good players, they have Partey (fuck him he can rot in jail) whos a solid midfielder, and generally just a decent team. Yet somehow they are one of the worst teams ive seen on this tournament. Worst part is that they are qualified now because they have 4 points, we will see this awful team in the knockouts over a team like Iraq, or even maybe Cape Verde or such. Really disappointing and hope they lose first round at least. Projected to play Colombia i believe. Lastly, Héctor Saíd Martínez Sorto, the referee. I was gonna list some stats but this man has his own Wikipedia page with barely anything on it besides a biography which includes a controversy between the Mexico - Canada semi final game on the concacaf nations league lmao. This guy was fucking atrocious dont let him ref again. He also refereed Messi his first game for Inter Miami, fun fact I guess. Motm Rice, idk who else no one really played amazing but he just did what he always does and thats generally pretty decent. Quick edit because i forgot to shit talk Kane his 100% scoring chance, what the hell even was that lmao.
