DOHA, Qatar — No one expects the U.S. to beat England.
The oddsmakers say the World Cup matchup Friday in Al Khor on the edge of the Qatari desert is a huge mismatch, like leading lambs to slaughter. England is ranked fifth in the world. It made the semifinals of the last World Cup and the final of the last European Championship.
And the U.S.? Well, it has done nothing comparable.
