It'd have been absolutely criminal for Mount to score on the stroke of half time.
Aimless, clueless and no one really standing up and taking control - typical England. Mason Mount benefits from the same old biases that have undone England in the past - a good looking, white, Anglo Saxon lad who plays for one of the top clubs ensures his starting spot despite being average in mostly everything he does. Involved in numerous breakdowns, lost the ball on half an hour and USA pounced.
USA have been excellent though. Worryingly for England, they've not utilised their strategy against Wales ie blow all your energy in the first half and hold on for dear life in the second. Fingers crossed they keep taking it to England. Deserve to be in front in this match.
Remember - loser of this match has to keep James Corden so there's a lot riding on it.
