fucken hell, Ghana dominated the second half and still couldn't get a draw? Absolute shambles defending lmao

gg Croatia, but Ghana really showed up after halftime. Unlucky not to get at least a point

Ella Thompson2026-06-28T00:00:00.000Z

Anyone else think the ref was a bit dodgy? That tackle on the Ghana winger should've been a yellow

Grace Patel2026-06-28T00:46:00.000Z

reffing was questionable all game

Grace Patel2026-06-28T00:18:00.000Z

Ghana's second half was impressive but they can't afford to start so slow at this level. Croatia know how to grind it out

Rowan Blake2026-06-28T00:31:00.000Z

boring match tbh, both teams looked average. Croatia will get smashed in the next round

Classic Croatia, score early and defend for 70 mins. Works though, they're through

Ella Thompson2026-06-28T00:57:00.000Z

nah mate, disciplined defence is a skill. they earned it

Isla Cooper2026-06-28T00:58:00.000Z
