England unchanged from the win against Iran.
A win tonight surely means they will win the group and allow them to play a second string against Wales, which would be a boost.

If they win tonight, I'd only drop those carrying a yellow card tbh. Momentum everything in a short tournament like this. Plus Wales will save their best performance for us, of that I'm sure.

No surprise Gareth has named an unchanged team after that excellent display against Iran.
Hopefully we'll get a few ahead and he can make a few early changes to rest some legs.
If England do get the job completed tonight then I'm sure there will be plenty of fringe players getting a run out in the Wales game.

Our central defence is way below the rest of the team in quality. Highly likely to be the reason we go out, if and when we do.

One interesting bit of trivia, Horvath the shaky looking dude who stood between the sticks for Luton vs the Clarets back in August is among the US subs.

USA transition from attack to defence much better and there shape to be fair is causing us problems need a man to run with ball and break nlines

Problem is we have no one in midfield to progress the ball. Rice isn’t good at it. We lack someone to turn on the ball and play through a press.

Midfield and full backs spending the entire game facing their own goal. Nobody taking it on the turn. Harsh to pick out one player when all are offering little bit Mount is utterly anonymous.

I thought even against Iran that Burnley look far more accomplished playing out from the back than England. I know the opposition is better but our defenders are better passers of the ball.

Mount and a Rice must be very good players if they are keeping Foden on the bench.

Rice I can understand, Sterling and Mount have been turd all season and shouldn’t be on the pitch
