Ghana are not waiting for the whistle to start talking. A single report from Pulse Sports, a Kenyan outlet, claims the Black Stars have delivered a pointed message in the direction of England ahead of a potential 2026 World Cup meeting — but the fixture itself has not been confirmed by any independent source, and the draw details remain unverified.
Pulse Sports reports that Ghana's camp is brimming with belief ahead of a potential meeting with England at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with the mood around the squad carrying a clear edge. The phrase doing the rounds — "tell them we are coming" — is exactly the kind of pre-tournament declaration that sets a tone before a ball has been kicked.
It is the sort of line that travels. Ghana know that.
Important caveat: this story originates from a single Kenyan regional outlet and has not been corroborated by any Tier-2 or Tier-3 source. Treat the fixture as unconfirmed until the 2026 World Cup draw independently places Ghana and England in the same group or bracket.
Ghana vs England carries genuine weight. The two sides met at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, where Ghana's run to the quarter-finals — ended in the most painful circumstances imaginable — remains one of the tournament's most vivid chapters. Any reunion at a World Cup carries that history in its back pocket.
That said, this story comes from a single regional outlet not listed among established football press tiers, and the 2026 World Cup draw details would need to be verified before treating a fixture between the two sides as confirmed. The messaging may be pre-tournament positioning rather than a response to a confirmed group-stage or bracket pairing — or it may simply be aspirational framing from within the Ghana camp. Worth monitoring — but worth flagging loudly.
The 2026 World Cup, co-hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico, expands to 48 teams — which increases the chances of cross-confederation meetings and gives African sides more routes through the group stage. Ghana qualifying and landing England in their path would be a storyline the tournament would lean into hard.
For now, the Black Stars are clearly not short of belief. Whether England's camp has clocked the message yet — or whether the fixture is even set — is another matter entirely.
