After making an instance impact from the bench in England's World Cup opener against Iran, Manchester United attacker Marcus Rashford might have hoped to start in the second Group B clash. However, Gareth Southgate opted to stick with the same starting line-up that he selected for the first game, and the United man was once again among the substitutes.
Given that the Three Lions thrashed Carlos Queiroz's last Monday, the England boss can't be blamed for sticking with a winning team - but with Rashford not coming on until the 78th minute as Southgate's men struggled to break down USA, some supporters were confused as to why it took so long for him to be sent on.
Rashford has registered eight goals for Erik ten Hag's side so far this season, while Bukayo Saka and Raheem Sterling - who started on the wings for England on Friday night - have recorded five each. The Arsenal star and Chelsea ace were impressive against Iran, but it would probably be fair to say that they were both on the pitch for too long against USA.
