Now it's all there for the USA's taking.

A courageous and well-earned draw for the USA against heavily favored England puts the Americans in position to reach the World Cup's Round of 16 with a win Tuesday over Iran.

Monday's 1-1 draw against Wales felt like a letdown. This 0-0 draw against England, one of the pre-tournament favorites, ought to feel like an achievement.

Shaq Moore has been ineffective since coming on as a substitute.

A promising USA move down the right side fizzles when Moore misses his window to send in a cross. It's one of several blunders Moore has committed in his short stint.

Almost everyone on the USA side has been good in this match -- that's what happens when you're giving a top-five team in England the business. So folks looking for a scapegoat, besides the usual complaints about manager Gregg Berhalter, may look to Moore.

Gio Reyna and Josh Sargent for Tim Weah and Josh Sargent. It's the World Cup debut for Reyna, the wunderkind son of USA great Claudio Reyna.

This is the final push now, seven minutes plus a few more of stoppage time.

Brenden Aaronson replaces Weston McKennie in the midfield.

Shaq Moore replaces Sergino Dest at right back. Dest looked to be visibly frustrated with being subbed off.

Of course you want your team to win. Even more so when it's generated the majority of the dangerous attacks, as the USA has.

But in the big picture, both teams would be in good shape with a draw. In that event, the USA would advance with a win over Iran, a game in which the Americans likely would be favored. And England would remain atop the group.

Christian Pulisic is making noise down the left side.

But a trio of corner kicks come to naught for the USA as England defenders rise to knock away Pulisic's in-swinging balls on each occasion.

The USA could use an infusion of fresh legs. Gio Reyna and Brenden Aaronson are available off the bench.

Weston McKennie, coming off an injury and playing on a yellow card, is an obvious candidate to be replaced.

Would not be surprised to see England rotate in some bodies soon as well.

The USA was almost immediately flummoxed by Wales as the second half began on Monday. Not so in the first few minutes out of the break against England.

Weston McKennie had another decent look inside the box, but again sent it way over the frame.

In the United States, it's called soccer. In England -- and elsewhere around the world -- it's football.

So pick a vernacular side and talk your trash!

Frito Lay is using the question to sell chips, and you know the good-natured smack has reached the main mainstream when The Chainsmokers' account is weighing in. Bite that tattoo on your shoulder.

The teams head for their locker rooms knotted at 0-0 after an entertaining first half.

England dominated possession through the opening minutes, but the USA started generating the more dangerous chances past the 20-minute mark.
