Over three games spanning 72 years, the U.S. men’s national team is still undefeated vs. England in World Cup play.
The two sides played to a spirited 0–0 draw at Al Bayt Stadium in Al Kohr in a Black Friday showdown that did not disappoint, even if goals didn’t materialize. After England enjoyed the better of the run of play at the start, it was the U.S. that appeared the more comfortable of the two after the 20-minute mark, weathering the storm and then barking back. Its best chances came from Weston McKennie, who skied both of his opportunities, and Christian Pulisic, who rattled the crossbar with a left-footed blast, but neither side could find a breakthrough, and each takes a point heading into the final game of group play.
