Juju or Tactics? Ghana Hold England to 0-0 in World Cup Opener
Ghana and England played to a 0-0 draw in their 2026 World Cup opener at Gillette Stadium. Despite dominating possession, England failed to break down Ghana’s disciplined defence. The Black Stars held firm, frustrating Harry Kane and the Three Lions’ attack. Kane, who scored twice in the earlier game, was kept off the scoresheet as Ghana defended heroically throughout the match. Before kick-off, Ghanaian spiritualist Nana Kwaku Bonsam claimed to have placed a mild curse on Kane. After the final whistle, fans flooded social media, joking that Ghana’s juju had done the trick. With one win and one draw, Ghana tops Group L and is already assured a spot in the last 32 under the expanded format. England also sits on four points, leaving the group wide open ahead of the final round of matches.
