The England-Ghana matchup failed to generate goals, but there were still plenty of scenes to be enjoyed at “Boston Stadium” (Gillette Stadium) on Tuesday in the latest local World Cup game.
Both teams fought through a difficult game in front of yet another crowd of more than 64,000. At the end, it was Ghanaian fans were who were the happier of the two fanbases.
Here are the best photos from a tense day in Foxborough:
