England Past Performances, Stars and Profile
England have been the nearly team in their last two major tournaments. The Three Lions were beaten in the Euro 2020 Final by Italy after getting knocked out of the 2018 World Cup semi-finals by Croatia. This could create some apprehension for their fans before the England vs USA match.
However, England have a talented squad this year, excelling at the FIFA World Cup 2022 qualifiers. They were unbeaten during the qualifying process and finished at the top of their group.
They’ll be bidding to win the World Cup in Qatar 2022 for the first time since 1966.
England Top Scorers FIFA World Cup 2022 Qualification
| Name | Position | Matches | Goals |
| Harry Kane | Striker | 8 | 12 |
| Harry Maguire | Defender | 6 | 4 |
| Bukayo Saka | Midfielder | 5 | 3 |
| Raheem Sterling | Striker | 7 | 2 |
England had a disappointing start to their UEFA Nations League campaign. The team lost two games to Hungary both home and away while drawing with Germany and Italy. Gareth Southgate’s men are in danger of relegation from Division A after their slow start.
Despite this, England will be a dangerous side in the FIFA World Cup due to the talent of their stars in the final third. Kane is one of the best strikers in the world and has shone in the past two major tournaments, winning the Golden Boot at the last World Cup.
Sterling was the standout in Euro 2020, while Jack Grealish and Phil Foden are flair players to watch. England’s biggest weakness is the centre of their defence due to Maguire’s struggles of late.
Southgate is the most successful England manager since Sir Alf Ramsey, having led England to the final of Euro 2020 and the World Cup semi-finals in 2018.
USA Past Performances, Stars and Profile
The USA failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup, but have returned for the Qatar World Cup 2022. They’ve been in impressive form in the Nations League and the Gold Cup, winning both events in the CONCACAF region.
They’ll be determined to make an impact in the tournament despite only scraping through the World Cup 2022 qualifiers, finishing third in the standings behind Mexico and Canada.
USA Top Scorers FIFA World Cup 2022 Qualification
| Name | Position | Matches | Goals |
| Christian Pulisic | Midfielder | 10 | 5 |
| Ricardo Pepi | Striker | 10 | 3 |
| Brendan Aaronson | Midfielder | 11 | 2 |
| Weston McKennie | Midfielder | 7 | 2 |
USA have several talented players in their ranks for the World Cup. Christian Pulisic is the premier name because of his exploits for the Stars and Stripes, along with his performances for Chelsea in the Premier League.
Brendon Aaronson is a player on the rise along with Yunus Musah, Tyler Adams and Weston McKennie in the middle of the park. USA have many newer players with potential, but a lack of experience and a clinical goalscorer could be their downfall at Qatar 2022.
Manager Gregg Berhalter has been in charge of the USMNT since 2018 and has already led his side to two tournament victories.
Betting tips and odds on England vs USA in FIFA World Cup 2022 Group B
England will be the favourites for the FIFA World Cup 2022 Group B contest, given their recent form at major competitions and the quality of their players. However, it won’t be straightforward for Southgate’s men. They’ll remember their 1-1 draw against the USA at the 2010 World Cup all too well.
England will be hopeful of securing their place in the knockout stage with a victory over the States if all goes to plan in their opener. The USA doesn’t have the best defence, so there should be opportunities for Kane and Sterling to get onto the scoresheet.
To translate this to potential bets, this suggests opportunities to bet on the England players scoring anytime in the goalscorer market. Otherwise, a correct score bet of 2-0 England could be made a reality.
The match will be broadcast around the world. In England, it’ll be available on either the BBC or ITV. In the United States, FOX Sports will broadcast the event.
