Brandon provided a 95th minute assist that helped Ghana beat Panama 1-0 in Toronto. The win left both Ghana and England level on three points in Group L following the Three Lions 4-2 over Croatia in their opening match. Speaking to ghanafa.org Thomas-Asante is adamant that external doubt only fuels the squad.

“Everything to the best ability, it’s very much a case of — we back ourselves, we believe in ourselves. Whether people on the outside doubt us, believe us, or anything — that’s not what we think about. We think about why we’re here. We’re on a mission.” Thomas-Asante said.  

The Coventry City forward said that mission removes any weight of expectation. “That means there’s no pressure. It’s even less pressure for us,” he explained.

“We know our fans believe, but we know that some people might want to overlook us. We use that to our advantage — preparing properly and believing that we can go and do something.” He added.

England and Ghana both sit on three points heading into the Foxborough clash, with the winner set to take control of Group L. Kickoff at Boston Stadium is 4:00 PM ET on Tuesday.
