World Cup 2022: Team USA holds England to shocking 0-0 draw

The young Americans played better against the England team in a shocking draw at Al Bayt Stadium.

The US appeared to capitalize from the start of the game as they stringed together some slick passes against the English defense.

The combined trio of Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham, and Bukayo Saka led a solid run for the American box until Tim Ream’s appearance, who ended the close stunner.

A few attempts were made minutes later from England’s Mason Mount, who shot a right-footed shot following a corner.

Dubbed a versatile player, Weston McKennie gifted the Americans an attempt of their own, with a long-distance strike from outside the box that merely missed the net.

A solid defence was put in place by Gareth Southgate’s men, who trapped the Americans for potential counterattacks.

In the 20th minute, The Three Lions held most of the possession but lacked conversions as “USA” chants stormed in from the crowd.

Yunus Musah almost struck in the stars for his country with an attempt from outside the box that was saved by England’s goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.

All of America tuned in to Christian Pulisic, who struck the left bar in a shot close to nailing the back of the box.

Minutes before half time, Pulisic provided another opportunity for his squad, with a corner on the right that failed to reach any of his teammates.

USA keeps up the pressure

At halftime, it was clear that the Americans were pressuring the England team, who were expected to clear the group away in the game.

Bouncing back in the second half, Team USA had several corners to put away, but nerves got the best of them as they were yet to provide a finish.

On the English side, the star group continued to make substantial runs but were also left far from striking any goals.

After receiving a deft back pass from Jack Grealish in the middle of the second half, Rashford gave a close left top corner of the box.

Both teams were frantically trying to score as time was quickly running out, but time ran out and the game ended in an odd draw.
