World Cup 2026: Troost-Ekong backs Ghana to halt England’s winning run

Former Super Eagles captain William Troost-Ekong has shared his opinion on Ghana’s upcoming FIFA World Cup 2026 match against England, saying he believes the Black Stars can get a positive result.

Ghana will face England in a Group L fixture scheduled to take place in Foxborough on Tuesday night. The match is expected to be one of the key games in the group because both teams have started the tournament strongly.

Ghana began their World Cup campaign with a hard-fought 1–0 win over Panama. The result gave them a good start and boosted their confidence going into the next match.

England, on the other hand, currently lead the group on goal difference after a strong 4–2 victory over Croatia in their opening game. Their attacking performance showed their strength going forward, but they also conceded goals, which could be a concern.

Troost-Ekong believes Ghana has enough quality to challenge England and possibly secure a draw. He suggested that both teams are likely to score during the match, which makes the game more open and unpredictable.

Speaking in an interview with ESPN, he said that if he had to predict the outcome, he would go for a draw because he sees both sides creating chances and finding the net.

The match is now highly anticipated as fans look forward to seeing whether Ghana can continue their strong start or if England will maintain their winning momentum.
