2026 WC: We have to be aggressive around match officials - Semenyo
Antoine Semenyo, a Ghana forward, called on his teammates to be aggressive around match officials at the ongoing 2026 FIFA World Cup. He suggested the team must adapt its approach to avoid being disadvantaged, stating, "I think as a team we need to be more aggressive around the officials, whether staying down longer as a player. I think that's what we need to do." He added, "It is quite frustrating that they haven't checked in twice now."
Ghana has collected four points from their opening two matches, starting with a 1-0 win over Panama and a goalless draw with England. Both matches have been clouded by controversy over incidents Ghana felt warranted penalty awards, including when forward Prince Adu Kwabena went down inside the box against England. Ghana heads into Saturday's decisive Group L clash with Croatia in Philadelphia knowing that at least a draw will be enough to seal qualification to the knockout stage.
