The scoreless draw between England and the United States here at the Al Bayt Stadium was nothing to write home about
Along with the shocking win in 1950, which became the subject of a movie in the United States, the two teams also played to a 1-1 tie in 2010 in South Africa.
They may have wanted to save some of those goals for the United States, who had the run of the play early going and should have gone ahead when a cross into the box bounced in the path of midfielder Weston McKennie, but his half-volley sailed over the crossbar. “We were booed off? I really don’t know, I’m not sure who that was directed at,” said England coach Gareth Southgate. “Personally, I’m really pleased with the application of the players; I think it was a really tough opponent, they defended incredibly well.Article content
Perhaps for that reason, England was far less adventurous on the night, going forward, and when it came time to make substitutions late in the game, Southgate elected to bring on defensive midfielder Jordan Henderson as opposed to the more dynamic Phil Foden. In the second half, the game ground almost to a halt at times, as both teams settled in to trade half-chances. Harry Kane had an opportunity to steal the game late when he got to the end of a free kick, but his header sailed wide.
