SO which was the real England – the one which demolished Iran or the one made to look bang average by the United States? We will find out in the knockout stage and the good news is that…
Southgate is too level-headed to get angry about it - it wasn’t as if Jordan Pickford had to make a single save of note.And it will dampen down the elements of over-optimism which crept in after that 6-2 hammering of Iran.
After the ensuing corner, Harry Maguire improvised a dribbling routine and soon after Bellingham was showing his enthusiasm by shoulder-barging Saka to collect one pass.First, Haji Wright flashed a header wide from Weston McKennie’s cross, then McKennie volleyed over with the England defence static. As Southgate pointed out on the eve of the match, England had never beaten the States at a World Cup - a stunning defeat in 1950 and a miserable draw, to kick off a miserable campaign, in South Africa 12 years ago.
Soon though, from a cute Sterling pass, Mason Mount lashed a shot and Matt Turner plunged to his right to push round the post.
