Diego Simeone offers interesting assessment of England's World Cup 2022 hopes

Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone had his say on Gareth Southgate's England side before their second group stage clash of the Qatar World Cup - a dismal 0-0 draw against the USA.

The Three Lions enjoyed one of the most dominant performances of the tournament so far when they ran out 6-2 winners against Iran in Group B, but their meeting with the USA proved a far sterner test on Friday night. Hopes remain high for England regardless, especially as they boast one of the younger sides in the competition.

That same young talent was a large reason behind the opening game victory on Monday, with Bukayo Saka netting a brace following teenager Jude Bellingham's first goal in an England shirt to open the scoring. Marcus Rashford netted the fifth and while he has plenty of experience, the Manchester United striker is still only 25 years of age.
