England shouldn't have struggled this much in this game normally. They were highly favoured for the win but their performance wasn't that impressive. They let USA have a similar amount of goal attempts as well. England are still keeping their lead maybe but they still need to be better than that.

Their performance in offense against Iran was really impressive. They need to keep this level up to have a chance for the World Cup title as well.

England's performance in this match was not very good and USA was really beyond expectations in my opinion.
As for Iran, in fact they also played normally but when a red card was issued from the referee's pocket for Wales it was clear that this was a differentiator and they could maximize this well.
I think there will be some things that are not so good for Hennessey in this regard because it's safe to say the red card really affected the game.

The performance from both the teams were almost similar. Rather than focusing on making a goal, the teams were very strong in defending and stopping the opponent from making goals. This is the reason the match ended without a single goal.

Going through the points table it is good to see Brazil and Portugal on the top of the table, rest were all covered by the small teams. Hope this time big change could happen with the move towards play-off.
