Rooney came on to a standing ovation in the 58th minute with England already 2-0 up thanks to first-half goals from Jesse Lingard and Trent Alexander-Arnold, but a combination of Guzan’s saves and last-ditch U.S. defending prevented the 33-year-old from marking the occasion by getting on the scoresheet himself.

Less than a year from the 2018 World Cup in Russia, the hotly contested No. 1 goalkeeper spot for the U.S. men’s national team is within Guzan’s reach, but Tim Howard still stands in his way.
Guzan, 32, could make his Atlanta United debut as early as Friday night at Orlando City (7 p.m. ET on ESPN/WatchESPN), having signed from the English club Middlesbrough…
Jordan Morris scored twice as the United States held on to beat lowly Martinique.
With eight changes from its opening group-stage match, the United States overcame a terrible first half performance, a goalkeeping gaffe and a defensive lapse to beat Martinique 3-2 at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida.
Positives
Considering how poor the first half was, the second half response could be called a “positive.” At least on the attacking end the Americans showed a bit more energy and sharpness, which led to three goals and the eventual win. The substitute performance of Alejandro…
