Saving energy for 2nd half. Also have a better bench to come on once USA begin to tire.
If we are expecting the USA to tire before us and are confident in our bench surely we should be going out harder, not being passive? The USA are less likely to get tired out if we let them dictate the pace. This sin't saving energy, this is shoddy and lazy defence. We are letting them shoot at our goal over and over. One of these is going to go in.

Their press was pinning England back And squeezing the space in our midfield to play. Credit to USA. But as we saw v Wales can they keep that up?

We have Aaronson and renya to come on who id rate to go head to head with anyone with England. Any other substitution would be a significant weakening of the squad.

His first name isn’t Aaron and middle initial A is it? 🤔

Maguire on the pitch (period) doesn't fill me with confidence.
He’s there for his big slab head. But yes having him with Stones means England getting pressed back more easily by US’s high press and can’t find those spaces in midfield to get it up top quick enough.

England caught on the counter yet again, leaving tons of space.

Dedicating the rest of the world cup to being a Harry Kane hater

The only Kanes we recognise in this house are Michael and Co
