The stadium erupted in applause. England’s fans were furious. The United States had once again disappointed them at a World Cup. The teams have met three times on soccer’s biggest stage, and England is still looking for their 1st win against the Americans after a 0-0 tie on Friday.
    Coach Gareth Southgate had reminded his players of the record, with the United States famously winning 1-0 in 1950 and drawing 1-1 in 2010. They didn’t seem to take his warning seriously, and they didn’t respond to Gregg Berhalter’s young and energetic team.England defeated Iran 6-2 in its first game in Qatar, confirming its status as a tournament favourite. However, it may consider itself fortunate not to have lost another game to the United States after Christian Pulisic struck the crossbar with a first-half strike and Weston McKinnie lifted a shot over from 8 yards out.The England fans had gathered at the Al Bayt Stadium in expectation of a victory and qualifier to the knockout stages with one game remaining. It’s one thing to be frustrated with England. But Berhalter’s job is to get to the knockout rounds.The draw sets up a match between the United States and Iran on Tuesday for a place in the round of 16. Iran defeated Wales 2-0 earlier in the day and now leads Group B with three points, one more than the Americans.Despite the heckling, England leads the group with 4 points.Comment down below.
