Former Ghana defender Hans Adu Sarpei believes the Black Stars’ upcoming clash against England at the 2026 FIFA World Cup will be an unpredictable encounter where "anything can happen."
Speaking to Joy Sports, the veteran of the 2010 World Cup campaign highlighted the unique psychological and physical atmosphere that surrounds a fixture between the two nations, noting that while England remains a formidable opponent, the specific dynamic of this rivalry changes the stakes.
"Playing against England, anything can happen," Sarpei stated. "When you see England, it’s difficult to play against them. England-Ghana is different. You will see and feel it when we are there."
His comments come as Ghana prepares for a challenging Group L, which also includes Panama and Croatia.
Despite the prestige of the England game scheduled for June 23 at Gillette Stadium, Sarpei warned that the tactical pressure would be immense.
The Black Stars enter the tournament in a period of transition following the recent dismissal of head coach Otto Addo.
Sarpei maintains that if Ghana secures a result in their opener against Panama, the momentum could carry them through the unpredictable "anything can happen" scenario he envisions against the Three Lions in Foxborough.
