England Invented Goalkeeper Preservation
A deadpan mock-tactical breakdown of England 0-0 Ghana, turning a target-free first half and Benjamin Asare's save into goalkeeper preservation theory.
England 0-0 Ghana gave us a new fake tactic: goalkeeper preservation. The first half reached halftime with no shots on target, despite England's heavy possession edge, so the breakdown treats it like a serious coaching innovation: protect the other team's goalkeeper from work, then act surprised when he remembers his job.
X caption draft: Did England spend 57 minutes protecting Ghana's goalkeeper from employment? Are they stupid?
