England played out their second group game of the 2026 World Cup on Tuesday, and things did not go to plan.
After beating Croatia last time out, the Three Lions knew a win would send them into the Round of 32 with a group game still to play.

However, unlike the USMNT, England failed to go two for two, with top scorer Harry Kane missing a huge chance right at the end of the game, which former NFL and WWE star Pat McAfee has now responded to.

Pat McAfee reacts to Harry Kane's miss vs Ghana
England dominated the match, with Ghana often putting their entire eleven behind the ball to try and secure a point.
It worked well, with the African side holding out for a 0-0 draw, which leaves them on four points ahead of their final group game with Croatia.
As for Thomas Tuchel's side, they showed they are not great when it comes to breaking down low blocks.

They created very little across the 90 minutes, with their best chances of the game coming near the end.
First, Nico O'Reilly guided his headed effort onto the woodwork. That header then bounced into the path of Harry Kane, who was not under a lot of pressure from the Ghana defenders.
Despite this, Kane, who is arguably one of the best finishers in the world, smashed his shot well over.
It was shocking to see such a bad miss from such a top attacker, prompting McAfee to take to X/Twitter to react.
He simply wrote: "Oh no… Kane."
Meanwhile, Dave Portnoy has now reacted to the 'curse' put on Kane by a Ghanaian witch doctor prior to the match, suggesting that was the reason for the miss.

Still, while it was a pretty dull game and a frustrating watch for England fans, they play Panama in their final group game, meaning they are essentially guaranteed another three points, which will see them qualify in first place.
