FT: England 0-0 USA
Properly that was boring. Very boring.
England with nothing actually in assault, past the odd half-chance. USA the higher aspect general however they ran out of fuel a bit within the closing 20 minutes or so.
The Three Lions nonetheless well-placed to achieve the final 16, however that was a regarding show.
90+3 minutes: Grealish shoved over, free-kick and one other likelihood for England to place it into the field.
ALMOST! Shaw swings it in, Kane will get up and powers the header vast. Doesn’t direct it in any respect.
90+1 minutes: 4 minutes added on and England have a nook. May there be yet another likelihood?
Not likely. Maguire heads it down into the bottom, the simplest of catches for Turner.
89 minutes: Properly Turner decides issues have gotten too boring, and expenses out of his purpose with the ball. Outpaces Mount too to be truthful to him.
Decides to finally go away it to his team-mates to carry it ahead. Moore present in house on the suitable, takes too lengthy although and the cut-back is a poor one.
Nizaar Kinsella at Al Bayt Stadium
A basic case of Gareth Southgate ignoring the clamour with Phil Foden the clear fan favorite.
Jordan Henderson and Jack Grealish have wrestled again management of the match and Marcus Rashford could be a menace if England discover him.
85 minutes: Respectable supply from Shaw, Maguire can’t get there although as Ream clears.
This has became a reasonably poor match general, even the USA have slowed down now. In all probability received’t be a lot added-time both, even with the present development…

Up come the defenders…
81 minutes: Henderson with a scream as Kane wins the ball again that was heard all over the world.
A lot quieter as Grealish then pokes it straight again to the USA. Will both aspect get yet another huge likelihood within the closing ten minutes or so?
