England vs USA Match Preview, Team News, Lineup for world cup today game

England will focus on the USA after a great victory over iran with 6-2 score when they play in Al Bayt Stadium on Friday. In a victory in their opening 2022 World Cup fixture, England will look to increase their chances of securing top spot in Group B.

The Three Lions started their campaign on Monday by overwhelming the Iranians with their first victory in 40 years. They came away from their match with Wales sharing the spoils, but still managed to secure another 3 points.

Despite reaching the World Cup semi-finals four years ago and the final of Euro 2020, optimism surrounding Gareth Southgate’s team had dipped heading into this tournament after a tough UEFA Nations League campaign.

Southgate biennially looks at performances in the FIFA World Cup to try and identify what positives can be taken from them. He drew parallels between his team’s performance against Iran, where they conceded two goals deep into stoppage time, and other matches he watched, where the displays were characterized by frustration and lack of focus. With a “full-throttle” USA team on the horizon this Friday, it’ll be interesting to see if England can take something from their analysis of past performances that might prove useful in their current situation.
