PREVIEW
If you’re good enough, you’re old enough, the saying goes, and the young guns from England and the United States backed up that theory with striking performances in their opening games at this week’s World Cup.
On Friday, the two nations meet at Al Khor, where England’s Jude Bellingham and Bukayo Saka will look to match the level they achieved in the 6-2 win over Iran, putting Gareth Southgate’s side in charge Group B took over.
England are yet to beat the United States at World Cups, suffering an unimaginable defeat in 1950 that was then seen as a national humiliation and drawing 1-1 in South Africa in 2010.
But the team are exuding confidence after emphatically returning to form in their opening win against Iran after six games without a win, in which midfielder Bellingham, 19, scored the opening goal and Saka, 21, scored twice.
Meanwhile, USA come into play after a 1-1 draw against Wales.
