After their opening encounter against Panama, Ghana would travel to Boston for a June 23 clash against England, a fixture that promises fireworks given the football history between the teams and European giants.

Many football fans and analysts have dubbed Group L the “Group of Death,” with England and Croatia being favourites to advance.

The third-place team in the group could advance to the Round of 32 if they happen to be one of the best third-placed teams.
