'Football closing price' England failed to cover the US at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.



England drew 0-0 in the second leg of Group B of the World Cup group stage with the United States held at Al Bite Stadium in Alcor, Qatar today (26th) Korean time.



After defeating Iran 6-2 in the first leg, England secured top spot in the group with 4 points (1 win, 1 draw), but failed to secure their place in the round of 16.



Iran, who defeated Wales 2-0, placed second (3 points, 1 win, 1 loss), and the United States (2 points), who drew two consecutive games following the first game (1-1 draw) with Wales, took 3rd place. The competition continued until.



England have met the United States three times in the World Cup so far and have not won 2 draws and 1 loss.



The United States had Christian Pulisic, Haji Wright and Timothy Weah, and England had Raheem Sterling, Harry Kane and Bukayo Saka, and the two teams could not finish the game even after exchanging 11 shots in the first half.

In the middle of the first half, the United States took the lead by attacking the right flank, and in the 26th minute Weah's right-sided cross was connected by Weston McKennie's right-footed shot from the center of the penalty area, but it went high and out of the goal.



Seven minutes later, during a counterattack, Pulisik, who received a pass from Yunus Musa, missed another opportunity as his strong left-footed shot from the left side of the penalty area hit the left corner of the goal.



England, suffering from the USA's offensive, stepped up their offensive again towards the end of the first half, but Mason Mount's right-footed shot near the left side of the penalty arc was blocked by USA goalkeeper Matt Turner in the extra time of the first half.



In the second half, USA pushed the opponent harder, but the tight balance was seldom broken.



The USA had five corner kick opportunities in the first 20 minutes of the second half, but were unable to score.



England, who failed to create a chance to do so, substituted Jack Grealish for Sterling and Jordan Henderson for Jude Bellingham in the 23rd minute of the second half, but failed to taste the goal.



A key striker, Kane struggled to peel the American defense.

In the 42nd minute of the second half, Marcus Rashford, who was substituted, took a right-footed shot and Turner caught it, and Kane's header missed the goal in extra time in the second half.



With Brendan Aaronson, Shack Moore, Giovanni Reina and Josh Sargent on board, the USA also had to be content with sharing a point.
