England were forced to settle for a share of the points at the top of Group L as an exceptional defensive display from Ghana earned themselves an impressive 0-0 draw in Foxborough, Mass.

Frustrated by missed penalty calls, the Black Stars may take a more aggressive approach with officials ahead of a crucial group stage finale against Croatia
