England v Ghana — The Complete Hub
Monday 23 June 2026. 9pm UK. MetLife Stadium, New York/New Jersey. Group L, Matchday 2.
The second group game. The one that either confirms England's progress or creates panic. Ghana are dangerous, athletic, and have nothing to lose. Here's everything you need.

The Prediction
Our call: England 2-2. Chaos. Kudus causes problems. Kane rescues a point.
Ghana are not a team you coast against. The 2022 World Cup showed what they can do when the occasion matches the talent. Kudus (now at a top European club) is capable of single-handedly dismantling a defence. Partey anchors the midfield. The pace on the wings is frightening.
England's second group game has historically been their weakest. The adrenaline of the opener fades. The tactical adjustments haven't landed. The squad rotation creates unfamiliarity.
Key factors:
- Kudus v England's right-back (whoever that is) — the matchup of the game
- Kane's penalty record if England need one
- Ghana's set-piece threat — tall, physical, well-drilled
- 9pm in New Jersey in June — hot, humid, energy-sapping
