England vs USA LIVE World Cup 2022: Latest score and updates as Christian Pulisic hits the crossbar
England squad sings national anthem before facing USA in Group B clash
England take on the USA in Group B of the World Cup on Friday in Qatar. The Three Lions won their opening game in style against Iran, cruising to a 6-2 victory as Bukayo Saka, Jude Bellingham, Raheem Sterling and Jack Grealish all on the scoresheet for Gareth Southgate’s side.
Harry Kane has shaken off an injury scare and is fit to play after undergoing a scan on his ankle this week, while Harry Maguire has also declared himself ready to start following an illness. Southgate has therefore named an unchanged team.
England will want to end an unwanted record and claim their first victory over the USA at a World Cup. The USA famously defeated England at the 1950 World Cup, before Rob Green’s error resulted in a 1-1 draw in South Africa in 2010.
The match begins at 10pm local time (7pm GMT) and will be live on ITV. For those in the US, it’s 2pm ET/11pm PT and is being broadcast on Fox and Telemundo.

HALF-TIME: All-square at the break but, frankly, England are lucky not to be behind!
The USA have had the majority of the chances and came closest with Christian Pulisic’s rifling the crossbar!
England have had a few openings too, through Kane and Saka, but the US will be the more satisfied of the two teams.
Work to do for Gareth Southgate’s men at the interval…

45+1: Shaw this time plays in Mason Mount who strikes brilliantly towards the corner… but Matt Turner does well to get down low to his right and tip it round the post!
Turner claims from the subsquent corner.

45 mins: Bit brighter from England!
Luke Shaw does brilliantly to beat two men down the left and his pull-back finds Bukayo Saka who can’t quite divert his attempt goalwards as it sails into the stands!
Where has that been in the last half-an-hour?!
Only one added minute at the end of the first-half…

36 mins: England wasteful in the final-third in the last few minutes, with Mount lofting a cross into the penalty area – claimed by Turner.
The USA keeper then launched a kick down the pitch to Pulisic, with Stones having to come across to cover.
The United States have had the better of this first-half so far..

33 mins: USA hit the crossbar!
Again, it’s all a bit easy for the United States. They switch the ball from right to left and Christian Pulisic rifles a left-foot shot onto the crossbar and behind!
Fierce strike – very unlucky for the American winger!
England a little shaken here….
