The English national team set a new World Cup record by beating the USA 0-0
The rather dismal performance of the 0-0 draw against the USA on Friday night was not really record-breaking. However, that doesn’t change the fact that the English set a new record. However, this is only a limited reason to celebrate.
In terms of World Cup titles, the Three Lions are still at one, which is not exactly outstanding for the motherland of football. What stands out, however, is the number of draws that the men from the island have earned. Following the draw against the USA, the Three Lions now sit at 22 ties, which is tantamount to an all-time record.
England with twelfth goalless draw: also a record
England had to share this so far, but decided before that not to take part in this race. For the players from the island, it was not only the 22nd draw, but also the twelfth goalless World Cup game in history, which is also a record. If you compare the 6-2 against Iran with the 0-0 against the USA, you get the impression that the Three Lions function according to the “all or nothing” ketchup bottle principle.
But the motherland of football doesn’t have to see this record as negatively. For example, what would you give if the result against Japan was a sad and sad 0-0.
