England and Ghana both edged closer to a place in the last 32 of the World Cup after a 0-0 draw in Foxborough on Tuesday.
Thomas Tuchel’s side top Group L with four points, above Ghana on goal difference, going into their final game against Panama, where a win would likely secure first place and a last-32 tie in Atlanta on July 1.
England had launched their campaign last week with a stylish 4-2 win over Croatia, with their relentless attacking play sweeping aside the 2018 World Cup finalists.
