With so much excitement preceding the match between USA-England, fans upset not to get a goal from their immense amounts of pressure as USA put in a spirited performance to hold England to a goalless draw in World Cup Group B at Al Bayt Stadium in Al Khor, Qatar.
Both teams played impressively well. In the 10 minutes of the game, Harry Kane was close to getting England on the board early, but his shot was narrowly blocked by U.S. defender Walker Zimmerman.
The chances keep coming for the USMNT in the first half of the match as Pulisic took a shot from the box, but this time he missed just to the left.
