| 0:02.0 | So that is the final whistle here at the Albeit Stadium |
| 0:18.0 | and the transatlantic duel between England and the USA ends goalless to a chorus of booze. |
| 0:26.4 | The point nudges England ever closer to the knockout stages with the US-Iran game. |
| 0:32.3 | Now looking like a winner-takes-all duel. |
| 0:35.0 | Our team of writers covering England and the US are here, dotted in all |
| 0:39.4 | different locations, ready to analyse the game and what we learnt. Plenty of reaction from |
| 0:45.2 | the two camps as well. I'm Adam Leventhal and this is the Athletic Football Podcast. |
| 1:09.7 | So let's bring you as much reaction as we can get into the next half an hour or so from the Albyte Stadium from our team of |

| 2:03.6 | People spend thousands of pounds to be out here. |
| 2:06.6 | They've based the whole year, maybe two or three years worth of holidays around this. |
| 2:10.6 | So you can understand why it's so disappointing to see a team that I don't think really tried to win the game. |
| 2:15.6 | In terms of England's |
| 2:17.8 | tempo, England's desire to win the game, was that lacking? What could they have done differently, |
