The young USMNT stood tall and stared England down, but with that final touch still missing, it’s now win or go home vs. Iran. avicreditor’s three thoughts on an intense 0-0 draw with the Three Lions at the FIFAWorldCup
Over three games spanning 72 years, the U.S. men’s national team is still undefeated vs. England in World Cup play.at Al Bayt Stadium in Al Kohr in a Black Friday showdown that did not disappoint, even if goals didn’t materialize. After England enjoyed the better of the run of play at the start, it was the U.S. that appeared the more comfortable of the two after the 20-minute mark, weathering the storm and then barking back.
The draw, the first scoreless draw in the U.S.’s World Cup history, follows a famous U.S. victory in 1950,, and a 2010 draw in South Africa, and it’s a notch on the belt for a young team still learning to win at the highest levels against the best competition. We won’t know the physical toll this match took on the team until we see who is selected on Tuesday vs. Iran and how they fare, but no player on a yellow card picked up a second, and the U.S. performance was pretty spot-on. In hindsight as of now, it’s hard to argue with the selections, but if weary legs cost the U.S. against Iran, then there will be some second-guessing to do about the squad selection, considering that even with a loss on Friday, the U.S. would have had a way through.
, and that manifested itself in the opening match against Wales—the U.S. had a stranglehold on the match, even took the lead, but then wilted and ultimately broke, conceding the equalizer. It was a winnable match, but the proficiency in transition and in the final third was lacking. Just in the same way the U.S. would’ve benefitted from a better final ball, the U.S. is still missing that final touch to take the next leap.
