In a drab and dreary match thats summoned up memories of England‘s 0-0 draw with Scotland in the second game of the Euro 2020 group stages, Gareth Southgate’s men limped there way to the fifth goalless match of the tournament.
In truth, the USA were much the better side with Tyler Adams proving an absolute powerhouse in midfield and Christian Pulisic coming closed to scoring by rattling the crossbar.
England vs USA: What happened?
The Three Lions, on the other hand, never looked like giving Matt Turner too much to worry about with a semi-decent strike from Mason Mount and a wayward header from Harry Kane proving their only real chances.
All in all, the game will best be remembered for, well, best being forgotten.
You know it was a pretty miserable 90 minutes to sit through when it’s being compared to England’s performances in the 2010 World Cup group stages where they staggered to 0-0 and 1-1 draws with the USA and Algeria.
However, if you’re an English or American fan, at least take solace in the fact that you will have been an extra 1-2% entertained by the fact that you actually had a horse in the race.
Spare a thought for the neutral fans who simply wanted to enjoy their Friday night with some World Cup drama only to get what can only be described as a ‘snoozefest’.
