The United States Men’s National Team put England under serious pressure, but it never found a way to get past Jordan Pickford. Now, the USMNT has work to do to make it out of the group stage at Qatar 2022.

Iran’s victory over Wales earlier today means that the stakes will be high when the USA take on the Asian side on Matchday 3. Fortunately, Gregg Berhalter’s men still control their own destiny.
