England were left frustrated by Ghana in the second World Cup group game as Thomas Tuchels side failed to break the deadlock.

The Three Lions were unable to follow up their opening 4-2 win in Group L against Croatia against Ghana despite dominating possession. England lacked the creativity and technical quality to unpick the Africans resilient defence.

But when the chances did come late on, Harry Kane passed up the best moment to win the game when he sent a left footed volley into orbit after Nico OReillys header bounced kindly back off the crossbar towards him.

Talk in the build-up to the game centred around a Ghanaian witch doctor who claimed to have cursed Kane to play poorly and help his country secure qualification to the knockout stages.

Following the match, England players met up with their wives and girlfriends in the stands as they relaxed and attempted to move on from a frustrating 90 minutes.

Unlike previous England camps, the stars and their partners have been allowed to spend plenty of time together after Tuchel lifted the previously imposed ban on couples reuniting during tournaments.

Ahead of the group stage, England stayed at the luxury Belgrove Resort and Spa in West Palm Beach, Florida and several WAGs chose to make the journey to see their loved ones.

Here, the Daily Star Sport looks at those England WAGs who were in the Boston Stadium to cheer on their lovers.
