  • Defender Harry Maguire stated the team would not be "too downbeat” on The Rest is Football podcast, drawing parallels to the 2022 World Cup where a similar draw against the USA did not prevent their progression.
  • Maguire expressed confidence that the team would look to secure a win against Panama in their next game, believing that any disappointment from the Ghana match would be forgotten.
  • However, former England defender Gary Neville identified winger Anthony Gordon as the player facing the most scrutiny on the Stick to Football podcast, suggesting he might struggle to retain his starting position after failing to make a significant impact in both matches.
