The marking was excellent. The US very rarely had players free in the final third. The US has 7 corners and never looked like scoring on any of them. England's defensive performance was good enough for a World Cup winner. The attack, on the other hand, was simply impotent. Maguire was very good, which he won't get much credit for but it's clearly true. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 I've been impressed with Tim Ream, he reads the game well and never seems too bothered by anything. Dest is a very interesting player. Just needs a bit more seasoning. The skill and pace of these young players is at a whole new level for USA. The future is bright, no matter what happens in Qatar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that’s close to almost every assessment I heard, so it’s not just Telemundo Deportes, which is where my coverage is coming from this WC. I think the US was threatening several times, but, as has been said, there was a lack of composure in the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marka Ragnos Posted November 25, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted November 25, 2022 (edited) I think the last time we met in the World cup was a draw, too. 2010. England has won eight of 12 of the last FIFA meetings. Edited November 25, 2022 by Marka Ragnos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For neither team to play their best and for the US to still control large portions of the match and look the more likely to score, I wouldn’t say if they had managed a goal, a win would be underserved. USA could have easily taken that win, had many more chances than us. Played well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it wasn't for Kane being poor with the header at the end, England would've walked away with 3 points. It doesn't mean England would've deserved the win either. It was a poor game that nobody really deserved to win. Neither created much and neither really looked like scoring. It was an all huff and no puff game and was imo the correct result, but each to their own. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 It will probably be a see saw kind of performance line from some of the bigger nations until the last 16. Argentina could go from hapless flops to again being a tournament favourite if they beat Mexico impressively tomorrow night ( and i think they will ) Similarly, if England deal with Wales handily , tonight gets forgotten about.

I'm not completely anti Sterling / Saka / Rashford, but for me they're players who belong in tough fixtures where you'll need to defend as an 11 and might get counter attacking chances. When oppo is keeping it tight, surely you want players like Foden and Grealish on the pitch, who can unlock a stacked defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
