The England national team failed to qualify early for the second round of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in the State of Qatar, after it settled for a goalless draw with its American counterpart in the second group competitions.

The England team raised its tally to 4 points at the top of the group, compared to 3 for Iran, which earlier beat Wales, while the US team raised its tally after a tie to two points.

The final decision on the identity of the group qualifiers was postponed to the third and final round, which will be held next Tuesday, where the English national team will play with its Welsh neighbor, while the American and Iranian teams will clash in an expected confrontation.

The England national team suffices to draw in the next round with Wales to ensure qualification, which applies to the Iranian national team, which will ensure promotion if its match with America ends in a draw.
