The England team made a mixed impression during the World Cup run-up. They were one step away from success at Euro 2020 and easily qualified for the World Cup afterwards, but they looked simply awful in the League of Nations. However, England managed to exceed expectations in their first meeting at the World Cup. This showed the excellent work of Gareth Southgate, who was heavily criticised by the fans. He managed to position his players correctly on the pitch and, thanks to the proper formation and performers, achieved an incredibly confident 6:2 victory over Iran. Of course, you can't conclude the win over the Iranians, but there is a feeling that Southgate is in complete control.
England has a big chance of winning against the USA. And Harry Kane will do everything possible to score a goal. He has to be on a score sheet, and it is important for his confidence. Gareth Southgate's side started the World Cup by crushing Iran 6:2. At the same time, Harry Kane didn't score a goal. But against the USA, the defensive function will be important.

USA
The United States team came to the 2022 World Cup with big ambitions. The Americans have a young squad. They play their first game in the World Cup against Wales. They fully justified the credit in the first half and led 1:0 afterwards. However, the USA team visibly sat back in the second half and became physically tired. It was no surprise that the Welsh team drew level (1:1). Such a result may suit the Americans well. Another thing is that their chances of getting into the playoffs have now gone down a bit.
The USA team had a tough match against Wales as they barely survived. Leading in the score against England is historical and fundamental for the USA, so their mood will be outrageous.

As for the odds on this game, the bookmakers' analysts believe England is the favourite. They were impressed by their encounter with Iran, simply knocking them to the ground. The USA had an excellent chance to get three points against Wales but failed due to trivial physical conditions. There are questions about the team. The English attack was spectacular in the opening game - especially on the flanks; Raheem Sterling and Bukayo Saca were brilliant. We think that these guys, led by Harry Kane, will be able to score at least two goals against the Americans.
Iran has shown that no matter what, England's defensive performance is not flawless. But the USA team has fast and technical football players in their attack.
