[Calderyon]

Better late than never.

[Calderyon]

[rusticgal]

It’s a tight game…

[Calderyon]

Pulisic hit the crossbar.

[Zizu]

Yunus Musah Best player so far

The hell is this?

No pressing at all? And how the hell do Mount and Sterlng get into the team? Its like that Italy game again.

[GiRTh]

Are they playing for extra time? Someone should tell them there isnt any.

[Calderyon]

USA playing much better than England currently.

[joeysteele]

This isn't a good one so far.

[bots]

usa are the better team at the moment but they havent made it count

[Zizu]

Need to get some flair players on asap

That’s why there’s only one minute extra time .. they’d seen enough

0-0 at half time.

[Dogeatdog]

I think we should get Foden and Grealish on.

[Crimson Dynamo]

+1

[Calderyon]

2nd half started.

[bots]

[Calderyon]

Still 0-0 at 67th.

[MTVN]

[Zizu]

When we are in trouble he always calls for Grealish

iran could win this group

What a boring game. So glad i caught the Holland/Ecuador game, so much better than this crap!

[Strictly Jake]

Na I've lost interest in it. Not the biggest football fan but after England's first game I was excited to watch this. It's uneventful and poor play from England, are they even trying?

[GiRTh]

:worship:What a boring game. So glad i caught the Holland/Ecuador game, so much better than this crap!

[bots]

to be fair this is more typical of england's recent performances

[Zizu]

Rice has been totally ineffective

What are these tactics? Why is Maguire ten yards behind the other defenders?

This was a wasted evening for me. Wish I binged something on Netflix instead. Nearly three hours I have been watching this. Don't know why!

[Zizu]

The ref has blown for fouls by us tonight yet all the other refs have been over lenient

[Dogeatdog]

Such a **** game

[Swan]

My American mate who i speak to all the time through gaming was telling me how much the US was hyping this game, trying to get the US interested. Any American who watched this, any casual, will have the same view on Soccer after this. Boring af!

[Dogeatdog]

All this anticipation for what results in the end to be such a boring game.

[bots]

the commentator ... kane was so very, very close .... it was a wild shot lol

[GiRTh]

Boooo!!!!!

[Calderyon]

Game ends 0-0.

It was always going to be a borefest given both managers are uber negative

Nearly 70 mins before the first sub was made. Im just confused by that tbh.

Southgate as an ex CB is über cautious.. he’s rather not lose than take the risk of winning

We definitely could've done better imo.

I understand being defensive against the really good sides, but not games like this where we should just dominate comfortably.

Netflix might make this match look like GOT depending on what you pick off there.:joker:

Good luck.

It was a real effort to sit through it for me.
An extremely boring game with really no highlights.

Poor is the only description in my view.

[Cherie]

Very dull

[MTVN]

I don't hate it, the USA are a pretty good side and the point basically gets us through. England fans are a bit entitled these days, you should never expect to walk a group or demolish everyone who is lower ranked than you. Just ask the Argies or the Germans

[rusticgal]

So typical of England….leaving it until the final game and keeping us on the edge of our seats….:fist:
Disappointing but USA did play well…

[Crimson Dynamo]

gash

[bots]

in fairness to southgate, his tactics have been successful in getting england out the group stages in the last few tournaments. Wales aren't going to beat england 4-0 :laugh:

The problem comes at the knockout stage where the teams they meet have the potential to beat england due to those same tactics. In the last couple of tournaments england have had a pretty easy ride during the knockout phases and the same may happen again this time round, who knows

[arista]

Still 0-0 at 31st.


Yes something was wrong


The USA Team could run as fast.

[arista]

Southgate tactics ..





He Failed

[arista]

Can Wales beat England
next week?

[Calderyon]

Can Wales beat England
next week?

If they want to qualify, they need to do more than beat them.

Plus they would need USA to beat Iran.

[Alf]

Wales have to beat us by 6 goals just to get level with us on goal difference. The USA vs Iran result doesn't make any difference to us no matter how it ends up.

We're through to the knock out stages because Wales ain't beating us by 6 goals

[arista]

Hell of a possible Twist

Not like the Golden era of the WAG's when we had Vicky Beckham and Chezza Cole.

I agree with you Joey.

Hopefully we up our game against Wales.

[Mystic Mock]

The USA didn't even put Trusty in their squad.

They're basically ripe for the taking by making that mistake.

In the Euros we had to play Germany, Denmark & Ukraine.

Who is the easy ride there?

[Calderyon]

Wales have to beat us by 6 goals just to get level with us on goal difference. The USA vs Iran result doesn't make any difference to us no matter how it ends up.

We're through to the knock out stages because Wales ain't beating us by 6 goals

4 goals. (It would then be 6-6 to Wales 5-3)

(ENG v IRN 6-2 ----- WAL v USA 1-1)
(ENG v USA 0-0 ------ WAL v IRN 0-2)

3 goals to level, but England would go through due to scored goals (6-5 to Wales 4-3)

(^ Above scenario if it ends 4-0)

----------
IRN v USA does matter, but not exactly how I said it. My mistake.
