England got their campaign in Qatar off to a perfect start with a 6-2 drubbing of Iran and with Kane fit to play against USA spirits would have been boosted even further in the week. Goals came from all over the pitch including from substitutions so it really was a performance that had everything.
USA were pegged back late by a Gareth Bale penalty which was a big blow and makes this an even bigger game for them.
The attacking element is what will see England go deep in this tournament so while it isn’t ideal to have only kept one clean sheet in the last 7 games scoring more than the opposition should continue to be the priority rather than shaping up more defensively. If England win this it could see them qualify for the next round with a game to spare so there really is a huge incentive. There have been 14 goals across England's last two games so goals looks the way to go once more.
USA have hit 15 goals in their last 9 games and after a promising start will fancy their chances of getting at England’s defence but I think they will ultimately be found out especially in the second half where the goals could flow as England get fresh legs on and utilise their squad.
