This result highlights a recurring struggle for the England national team: the gap between statistical dominance and actual goal production. By failing to capitalize on a massive disparity in shots and passing, England risks being viewed as predictable or inefficient by future opponents in the knockout stages, while Ghana gains confidence from a disciplined defensive display against a high-profile opponent.
