'We have been the victims of misfortune'

In an interview with the BBC after the match, Rice said, "When the opposition has 11 men defending, the game is always difficult. But in that case, you have to find a solution." England controlled the ball throughout the match and went on the attack. But they could not break through Ghana's well-organized and strong defense. Although there were opportunities to score in the last minute, the desired success was not achieved. In this regard, Rice said, "We were unfortunate in the last minutes."

After two matches, England and Ghana have equal 4 points. Harry Kane is at the top on goal difference. Even if England draws with Panama in the last match of the group stage, they have a good chance of going to the knockout stage. One of the favorites of the tournament will play against Panama at the New Jersey Stadium on June 28.

Rice also praised Ghana after being held to a draw. "Ghana definitely deserve credit," he said. "We still have one game left and we still have a chance to finish top of the group. So we have to stay positive." Goalkeeper Jordan Pickford agreed with his teammate. "We definitely wanted to win, but at least we didn't lose. We still have the chance to finish top of the group."

On the other hand, England coach Thomas Tuchel did not hide his disappointment after the match. He was particularly concerned about the easy chance missed by captain Harry Kane. Tuchel said, "It was definitely a chance for us. We had a great chance, then another. We deserved a goal."

Kane, who scored twice in the first match against Croatia, did not find the net today. As a result, England did not get the desired results despite having the edge in attack. While analyzing the team's performance, Tuchel said, "We gradually increased the intensity of the game, but we did not get the reward."

Like Rice, Tuchel also praised Ghana's performance, saying, "We tried to break down Ghana's very strong and organised defence. They defended with extraordinary tenacity and discipline. And I have rarely seen such a physical performance from a team in defence."
