Ghana coach Carlos Queiroz lampooned the video‑assistant referee after his side held England to a 0‑0 draw in Foxborough on Tuesday. He claimed VAR “went for a coffee” when a clear penalty and potential red card against England were not given. The Black Stars frustrated the visitors despite England enjoying 79% possession, the highest for a goalless World Cup match in six decades in the US.

Queiroz also protested a missed late penalty after Prince Adu was brought down by Jordan Pickford, noting that the referee only awarded a free kick during the second half of play. U.S. official Armando Villarreal served as VAR, while Said Martinez officiated as the on‑field referee. England outshot Ghana 19‑1 but failed to convert any chance in the closing minutes.

The stalemate leaves both teams with a point each ahead of their final Group L fixtures on Saturday. England will chase Panama in New Jersey, while Ghana meets Panama in Philadelphia, each needing at least a win to secure a knockout berth as the tournament expands to 48 teams. Queiroz’s sarcasm underscored Ghana’s belief they can still advance.
