By Rubén Morales Iglesias: The United States challenged England toe to toe playing to a 0-0 draw in Group B at the Al Bayt Stadium in Al Khor in front of 68,463 fans.
At the long whistle, England were booed by their fans who certainly weren’t satisfied that their team was lackluster and look nothing like the squad that thrashed Iran 6-2 last Sunday.
England started out dominating but later the United States settled down and pushed forwards producing the better opportunities but had to settle for just one point.
Incidentally, England have not been able to beat the Unites States at the World. They were shocked by the Americans 1-0 in 1950 in Brazil, drew 1-1 in South Africa in 2010, and now went scoreless in Qatar.
The draw, however, favours England, who with four points to their credit can seal a ticket to the next round with a draw against Wales on Tuesday. The United States, with two points, need to beat Iran who today shocked Wales 2-0 after being blown out by England 6-2 in their opening match.
Being the last group matches, the two will play at 1:00 pm on Tuesday so that no team has an edge over the other. Wales play England at the Ahmad bin Ali Stadium in Ar-Rayyan while Iran face the United States at the Al Thumama Stadium in Doha.
