A historically important duel in a World Cup that is very far from home for some and for others. England and the United States met at the start of the second round of the group stage of the World Cup in Qatar after the English defeated Iran and the Americans drew with Wales— that is to say, with some wanting to seal their presence in the eighth right now and others needing points to stay fully within the race.
Gareth Southgate kept the starting eleven that thrashed the Iranians, with Saka, Mount and Sterling supporting Kane and Principal Bellingham setting up the game in the back, while Gregg Berhalter made a single change and traded Josh Sargent for Haji Wright at the offensive reference position. In Group B in which Iran had already beaten Wales on Friday, England could confirm the isolated leadership in case of victory and the United States could enter a qualifying position in a win scenario.
⌚️Interval: ENG 0-0 USA.
⚠️In the 3 games between the 2 teams in a World Cup, the ???????????? United States have never trailed at half time against ????????????? ?? ?????? ?????????England (3 games).
At the end of the two previous games there was a victory for the North Americans (1950) and a draw (2010). pic.twitter.com/R6dnMf0q0a
