England vs USA Live Score: It’s halftime and still 0-0

 

ENG 0-0 USA

 

45 Minutes

 

The England that played against Iran is not looking like the same England team that is playing against the USA. They have had possession, almost 62% of it, but have managed to test the opposition goalkeeper just once in their five attempts on goal. 

 

On the other hand, the US have looked sharp and hit six shots on goal even while having just 38% possession in the first half. One shot was on tard the men in blue would look to carry that momentum forward when they get back on the pitch in the second half.

Netherlands vs Ecuador Live Score NED 1-1 ECU: A draw here is end of the road for Qatar

 

The start was not right for Ecuador as they conceded in only the sixth minute. However, after that, the South Americans picked up the pace and went for the goal a lot. 

 

It is evident from the fact that in the entire game, even after having only 45% possession, they had 15 shots on goal and four on target compared to the Netherlands only two shots on goal and just one on target. 

 

Enner Valencia scored for Ecuador while Cody Gakpo did for the Dutch. This draws brings an important conclusion as the host nation Qatar are out of the World Cup after just 19 games.

It is not really nice to see the leading goal scorer of the tournament and the only goal scorer for Ecuador in all World Cups, Enner Valencia going off the pitch on a stretcher. Maybe a time-wasting technique to finish the game on a draw, but who knows
