Gareth Southgate’s ‘unforgivable’ decision during the 0-0 draw against the USA has angered England fans.
Despite a dismal performance at the Al Bayt Stadium, the Three Lions remain top of Group B and England will progress to the round of 16 provided they do not lose by four goals to Wales.
Southgate started with the same team that won 6-2 against Iran with Kane starting up front and Sterling, Mount and Saka playing all three behind him. But they failed to be a significant threat to the opponent’s defense.
And fans were surprised by one particular decision by Gareth Southgate and that was the selection of Mason Mount ahead of Phil Foden. The Chelsea star is known for bringing high levels of energy, but he doesn’t bring the same level of creativity that the Manchester City man who has scored 8 goals this season can. City’s young star is never afraid to take on players, create chances, and also has an ending in him.
And, following Mason Mount’s lackluster performance, fans took to Twitter to express their discontent.
Phil Foden created as many chances against the USA as Raheem Sterling, Mason Mount and Harry Kane.

Mason Mount starting ahead of Phil Foden is the most ridiculous thing I’ve seen today

How is Mason Mount doing in this field?

As Mason Mount remained on the pitch, while Phil Foden remained on the bench, Gareth Southgate needs a court hearing to answer for his crimes against football. Southgate teaches anti-football in England and was surpassed by American coach Ted Lasso. Gareth Southgate is a criminal. pic.twitter.com/hg3sVNlM4Y

Somehow Mason Mount managed to play the whole game and it was Jude Bellingham, Raheem Sterling and Bukayo Saka who replaced Jordan Henderson, Jack Grealish and Marcus Rashford.
