England vs USA
FIFA World Cup
Group B
25th November 2022
Al Bayt Stadium
Preview
Over a year ago it just didn’t come home, maybe the slogan ‘it’s coming home’ will really come true now.
In any case, England started with a convincing 6-2 win against Iran. You can certainly not deduce everything from that victory, but you can deduce something. England scores easily. And the opponent may not be that good, scoring six times at a World Cup does a lot with confidence. In a positive way.
National coach Gareth Southgate therefore has few reasons to change the line-up. Especially the attack with Sterling, Kane and Saka will make many teams sweat in fear.
The game against the United States is a nice test to discover where England really stands. Moreover, a big step towards the eighth finals is taken with a win.
The United States played pretty nice football against Wales. Especially before the break, attacking football was played smoothly. After the break, England’s neighbor was better, with a 1-1 as a justified final score. The US will certainly not reach the semi-finals, but it is not a team that should be underestimated.
It will be the third meeting between the two countries at a World Cup. Surprisingly, England has never beaten the USA at a World Cup. In 1950, the Americans won 1-0. And in 2010 it ended in a 1-1 draw .
Another United States win would be a surprise, a draw would be too. Qualitatively, England has a much better team. And after the resounding victory over Iran, it is to be expected that the United States will also be defeated easily.
After finishing second at the European Championship, England was already one of the contenders for the world title. Faith has only grown after the duel with Iran.
