Jude Bellingham says he did not feel he deserved the Man of the Match award after England’s goalless draw with Ghana in Boston. Multiple outlets report that, despite winning the Player of the Match accolade, the England midfielder publicly downplays his own performance and points instead to Ghana’s contribution. Bellingham credits Ghana’s strong, compact defending for making it difficult for England to find a breakthrough, even though England dominate parts of the match. One report notes England have roughly 80% possession, but the teams fail to score. The match is described as frustrating for England because they cannot break down Ghana’s disciplined structure, a pattern some sources link to the team’s approach in earlier tournament games. Times of India also includes comments attributed to England’s manager Thomas Tuchel about the challenge of penetrating Ghana’s setup and to Declan Rice urging calm and focus on England’s remaining group prospects. Across coverage, the shared theme is Bellingham’s insistence that the award should have gone to a Ghana player and his praise for the Black Stars’ defensive effort.
