It was a penalty. For Ghana. But apparently I am wrong, and I am glad I am wrong as England would have lost. Ghana played well and England was not varied enough for most of the game to adapt. With taller players than ours, sending balls into the box for them to head away was not a good idea.
Towards the end of the game, players who could dribble past others were played, notably Eze and Saka and it appeared to make a difference. But the pace of Ghana was a big issue for us. Hopefully this is a learning experience for our manager and team, one which will take us to lifting the trophy.
My sweepstake team, Uzbekistan did not do well and my hopes for them playing England in the final appear very unlikely.
Family wise, we spent most of today at the villa, going for a swim and a drive. My daughter had some work to do, so we left her to it. The holiday continues to relax us.
