England 0-0 Ghana
Oh hello there, I was wondering if you could help me? It’s just that I bought this England fun-ometer from you recently and I think it might have broken down already. It was working fine last week, but now it only seems to be blowing out hot air.
Just a little jape, don’t know if you spotted it. Something to lift the mood a touch , or perhaps simply spark you into life after watching another turgid England group stage performance. Nice to hear your own fans booing you, as Wayne Rooney once said. At least that meant they were awake, Wayne.
After all, this is what England do. Forget 2010, Tuesday evening was the fourth major tournament in a row that they have drawn their second group game and it has hardly stopped them progressing to their later stages. It’ll be OK. Or it won’t.
It’s also what Thomas Tuchel’s England have done on repeated occasions. It’s not fair to call this a Gareth Southgate hangover. England played 180 minutes against Andorra in qualifying and scored three goals, remember. Or try to forget, whichever works best for you.
