FIFA WORLD CUP 2026 : TUESDAY – 23/06/2026

IT WAS A FRUSTRATING NIGHT FOR ENGLAND LAST NIGHT AGAINST GHANA, BECAUSE ALTHOUGH THEY SHOWED THEIR CLASS STATISTICALLY, MAKING 619 PASSES, WITH A 95% PASS ACCURACY, (78% POSSESSION) AND 19 SHOTS WITH 4 ON-TARGET, THEY JUST COULDN’T SEEM TO REACH-THE-BACK-OF-THE-NET AGAINST A RESOLUTE GHANA TEAM, WHO MADE 168 PASSES, WITH A 69% PASS ACCURACY, AND 2 SHOTS WITH 1 ON-TARGET, WHO EQUALLY JUST COULDN’T SEEM TO REACH-THE-BACK-OF-THE-NET EITHER AGAINST A RESOLUTE ENGLISH TEAM, SO, AFTER 90 MINS. AND LOT’S OF BACKWARDS-AND-FORWARDSING, THE SCORE ENDED UP IN A 0 – 0 DRAW, WITH THE GHANA FANS CHEERING WILDLY!  ENGLAND WILL NOW GO ON TO PLAY PANAMA ON SATURDAY IN NEW JERSEY AT 10.00 P.M. B.S.T.

PORTUGAL MUST BE FEELING CHIPPER TODAY AFTER THEIR SUCCESSFUL MATCH AGAINST UZBEKISTAN LAST NIGHT!  THEY MADE 606 PASSES, WITH A 92% PASS ACCURACY, (HAD 66% POSSESSION), AND 16 SHOTS, WITH 9 ON-TARGET, INCLUDING A BRILLIANT BRACE FROM CRISTIANO RONALDO AT 6 MINS. AND 39 MINS. RESPECTIVELY, AND FURTHER CRACKERS FROM NUNO MENDES AT 17 MINS., AND RAFAEL LEAO AT 87 MINS!  UZBEKISTAN WERE COMPACT AND PUT UP A STRONG DEFENSE THOUGH, MAKING 282 PASSES WITH A 77% PASS ACCURACY, AND 7 SHOTS WITH 2 ON-TARGET, BUT NO GOALS UNFORTUNATELY FOR THEM ON THIS OCCASION, (APART FROM AN EXTREMELY UNFORTUNATE OWN GOAL FROM NEMATOV AT 60 MINS.) SO THE MATCH CULMINATED IN A 5 – 0 WIN TO PORTUGAL, AND SOME VERY HAPPY PORTUGUESE FANS!
