England coach Gareth Southgate warned the U.S. would be coming “full-throttle” in Friday’s Group B match in Qatar.
DOHA, Qatar — England scored six goals in its opening World Cup game against Iran, but it was the two it conceded that concern coach Gareth Southgate and provide hope for the United States.
A win for the U.S. over England would not be on the scale of Saudi Arabia’s win - but Gregg Berhalter’s team is undoubtedly the underdog against one of the tournament favorites. His message to the players has been clear: They will need to be better against the U.S. team that tied 1-1 with Wales in its opening group game.“They’re a top nation with a lot of top players who have played in the Premier League and who we’ve come up against,” said England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford. “But it’s about us as a squad being 100%. It’s about us taking the result from Iran and going into the U.S. game positive.
“You see that the world of football is levelling out in a lot of ways,” he said. “Teams have game plans. Teams have been investing in their youth academies over a number of years.”
