England held by Ghana: should they start panicking? | Straight Yellow

Jun 24, 2026 · 32 min · Ep 12

Straight Yellow continues from San Francisco as part of the Fanatics World Cup Tour.


Adam Peacock is joined by former Socceroos Aaron Mooy, Alex Tobin and Brad Smith to preview Australia's crucial World Cup clash with Paraguay and break down the latest action from around the tournament.


The boys discuss whether England should worry after being held by Ghana, the low-block tactics that frustrated Thomas Tuchel's side, Harry Kane's late chance, and whether defensive football should be criticised when it gets a nation the result it needs.


They also preview Socceroos vs Paraguay, Jacque Italiano's injury, how Australia can break down a deep defensive block, why Jordy Bos could be a major attacking weapon, lessons from the 2018 Peru game, predictions for the final group match, Luka Modric's latest World Cup milestone, Croatia, Colombia, Scotland vs Brazil, Morocco, Haiti, Mexico, South Korea and the Fanatics tour in San Francisco.
