Ghana forward Antoine Semenyo has set the tone for the Black Stars' highly anticipated 2026 FIFA World Cup clash against England, promising an entertaining spectacle and embracing the challenge of facing one of the tournament's favourites.
In a joint interview with his Manchester City teammate and England defender Marc Guéhi, Semenyo expressed pure excitement for the upcoming fixture. "It's just exciting, just ready for the challenge. As a nation, we are looking forward to it. "It's going to be entertaining, and we are looking forward to it," the in-form striker said.
His comments reflect a confident mindset within the Ghana camp as they prepare to take on a star-studded England side in Group L, which also includes Panama and Croatia. The match carries extra significance for Semenyo, who was born in London but represents Ghana, adding a compelling personal narrative to the contest.
Guéhi, who will likely be tasked with marking his club colleague, acknowledged the difficulty ahead. "Of course [it's going to be a challenge stopping this guy], and they've got a fantastic team with great players as well," the England defender stated, showing respect for both the individual and collective threat posed by Ghana.
Semenyo's belief comes amid a career-best season at Manchester City, where he has scored 12 Premier League goals. The World Cup provides the perfect stage for him to translate that prolific club form to the international level, where he has scored three goals in 32 caps.
His anticipation for the England clash suggests he is ready to rise to the occasion on football's biggest stage, ensuring a match that lives up to its blockbuster billing.
