USA vs England 2022 FIFA World Cup Group B
The USA and England will face off in their 2nd Group B game on Friday. It will be a crucial game for the two teams to make notable progress toward the knockout stages because they have fallen short of expectations regarding total points. England will enter Friday’s match against the United States boosted by their 6-2 triumph over Iran, confident that another win will ensure their advancement to the World Cup’s knockout round.
The USA, for their side, will be looking for a better performance after a solid start versus Wales on Monday concluded in a dismal 1-1 tie, with Gareth Bale‘s second-half penalty wiping out Timothy Weah’s 36th-minute lead. The USA will be looking to repeat their two World Cup knockout performances, while England can advance to the round of 16 with a victory. England has never won against USMNT in the world cup finals and hopes to rewrite history.

2022 FIFA World Cup USA vs England: Predictions
The Americans will be a trickier check than Iran four days prior, and Southgate might very well ensure England does not get too far in front of themselves after notching six goals for only the second time in World Cup history. Iran demonstrated that England could be beaten, and the United States certainly did so against Wales, but the Three Lions’ excellence should glow through. The score should remain 2-1, considering the form of the Three lions.
