Events
Match Events
- 0' Three points are at stake. England host United States — let the battle begin!
- 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering England that had 137 games and scored 75 goals.
- 10' Tim Weah is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for England so far.
- 15' It looks like no one’s ball. England is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 20' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.

- 30' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both England and United States are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 35' England are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.

- 60' Gio Reyna has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 11 appearances with only 1 goals this season.

- 68' Jack Grealish has so much to prove this time. He replaces Raheem Sterling on 68 minute.
- 69' The crowd applauds Jude Bellingham as he leaves the pitch. Jordan Henderson steps in for England.
- 74' Over 74 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 77' Fresh legs for United States! Brenden Aaronson comes on to replace Weston McKennie.
- 78' United States make a change. Sergino Dest trudges off to be replaced by Shaq Moore on 78 minutes.
- 83' Tim Weah makes way for Gio Reyna at the 83 minute mark. A tactical switch from United States.
