The United States and England will meet in the World Cup Friday in one of the most highly anticipated matches of the tournament.
The two men’s soccer squads are fighting to get to the knockout stage out of Group B. England and the U.S. are favorites to do that, but the first round of group matches did not exactly go the way the Americans had hoped.
Against Wales, Tim Weah got things started off on the right foot early for the U.S., but the squad appeared to take its foot off the gas. A goal from Gareth Bale on a penalty late in the second half tied the match for Wales and helped earn one point in a draw.
