Take Friday’s World Cup match between the United States and England, the No. On this night, in a game that ended in a scoreless tie, it was the Americans who were in control. Win that game and the Americans are on to the round of 16 for the fourth time in five World Cups. That was a good omen for the U.S. because England hasn’t won a World Cup game that was scoreless at the half since 2006. That didn’t change Friday, but the shutout was the first over a European rival in the World Cup in 72 years.
