We\u2019re just on our way to reaching the main goal, which is to qualify for the second round of the World Cup,\" Queiroz said post-match.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ghana now have four points in Group L and face Croatia on June 28 in their final group match. A win would guarantee progression to the Round of 32. \"Points in this World Cup are terribly expensive. When you get one, you have to fight for it. Now we recover and focus on Croatia,\" he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Queiroz further credited his players\u2019 fighting spirit in executing a clear plan \"to frustrate England\" in Cup Group L draw. \"We put in place our strategic plan. It was to block them and frustrate them since the first minute until the end of the first half, which we did when we finished the first half. I found and I realised that the English team was completely frustrated with no solutions. The usual solutions that they use to capitalise wins, we blocked them and we succeeded in all fronts. <\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ghana now have four points in Group L and face Croatia on June 28 in their final group match.
