Sam Matterface is clearly winding Lee Dixon up now by banging on about some irrelevant game Dixon played in against USA some 30 years ago.

Why on earth did they make him lead England commentator.

The fact they were able to have a full uninterrupted conversation about that, USA's evolution as a footballing nation, plus a 1950 match, just showed how little there is worth mentioning in this game

Gregg Berhalter has taken way too long to make changes. Has allowed England to retake control of the tempo.

This must be some new meaning of the word 'control' I wasn't previously aware of.

[DavidMarrio]

Normality has resumed in England being dull as fuck and everybody stopping wanking themselves into a "it's coming home" coma 

[stokeriño]

I get the feeling that Southgate's plan may have been to play this badly in order to drag USA down to our level and beat them on experience.

[Adam]

I don't quite get why players like Mount and Saka have been left on as long as they have, contributing very little on the ball.

Phil Foden is still sat on the bench.

[METALMAN]

One thing I’ll give Matterface was when he told Lee Dixon he played in an Arsenal team where “patience is key” I thought it was a nice euphemism in place of “you played in possibly the most boring team in history”.

Shaq Moore’s barely been in there and yet every time he’s mentioned it’s because he’s committed a foul or turnover.

Moore and Yedlin both coming in over Scally is a disgrace.

Have just worked out that if this ends in a draw, England are still through to the next round unless Wales beat us by at least 4 goals.

Which is weird.

Lee Dixon saying Rashford is back in the England squad because he's "concentrating on his football". Concerning.

I thought the exact same thing when I heard that. I really hope Dixon doesn't think that what Rashford achieved off the pitch is pointless if its affected his football career.

[stokeriño]

Lee Dixon providing the subtext of "fuck hungry kids" doesn't really surprise me tbh.

[King Ellis]

USA wins 0-0

[Szumi]

What a stupid free kick.

[Adam]

As underwhelming a match as there has been at this tournament yet.

England have a lot to think about ahead of the Wales game.

USA v Iran will be intriguing, I think both sides have got a lot to be hopeful about in approaching that one.

[Bobfoc]

I wouldn't call that a great success for either team.

[Lowerdeck]

Eh, I'll take a draw.

 

Having to play Iran in a must win is a bit concerning though. 

[The Buscher]

Lol what an absolute waste of a free kick at the end.  But hey, a point is a point.

Bring on Tuesday, if you can’t beat Iran you shouldn’t advance anyway.

[gunnar hendershow]

US really had their chances and if they draw with Iran on Tuesday can blame themselves for not finishing some of those chances today.
