USA drew their first game of the World Cup against Wales while England beat Iran 6-2 in the opening game. Iran beat Wales 2-0 in today's first game, a result that will make the England-USA tie more entertaining.

Biggest game of Musah's career

Musah is eligible to play for four countries including Ghana through his parents but switched his international allegiance to USA in 2020 and has won 20 caps for the Americans and is looking forward to playing against a country he once lived in.

Speaking ahead of the game in an interview with BBC Sports, he calls it a special game and the biggest of his career.

''What a special game it will be. Having lived in England, knowing how England are as a society as people, it’s just a special moment so I hope it goes well. It will be the biggest game of my career.” he said.

Kane available after injury scare

Sports Brief earlier reported that England captain Harry Kane is fit to play in the match after coming off with a knock in the 6-2 win over Iran.

This would be a major boost for manager Gareth Southgate as he prepares for an all important game where a win would see England through to the knockout stages.

Harry Kane won the golden boot at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia. His goalscoring exploits and experience would be vital if England will go far in this tournament.
