The United States was dominant in attack but could not find a way past England as they were held to a 0-0 draw in their second 2022 World Cup game on Friday.

The U.S. was the better side in a game lacking in clear cut chances. The closest threat came when Christian Pulisic rattled the crossbar with a ferocious effort midway through the first half, but neither side, but neither side was able to break the deadlock.

The result leaves the head coach Gregg Berhalter's team third in Group B with two points from two games. Victory in their final group match against Iran on Tuesday will be enough to guarantee a place in the knockout stages. Meanwhile, England will qualify as long as it avoids a four-goal defeat in their match to Wales.
