England vs USA: Records, Stats, Goals, Head to Head & everything to know

England will have a chance to resume their old rivalry with the United States when they face each other on Friday in the FIFA World Cup 2022 Group B encounter. This contest will get a lot of people excited, as both sets of supporters can expect to see an action-packed encounter unfold in front of them on Friday night. Even though England will be the favourites in this contest, the Three Lions will be well aware of the difficult challenge that will await them at Al Bayt Stadium. 

Entering this World Cup, there were not many expectations surrounding the prospect of the Three Lions going deep into the competition. It was largely down to their poor Nations League outing. Placed in League A Group 3, which was regarded by many as the group of death, England could only manage three points from six matches. However, they put that disappointment behind them to trounce Iran 6-2 in the opener. Meanwhile, the USA were held to a disappointing 1-1 draw against Wales. Besides, they are also in the middle of a four-match winless run.
