英格蘭都係d副選為主,美國就出哂正選,似乎有少少強弱懸殊CHICAGO, May 28 (SW) - Kieran Richardson scored twice on his England debut as Sven-Göran Eriksson's men defeated the United States 2-1 in Chicago in a quite competitive friendly on Saturday.
Both teams fielded weakened sides for the first meeting between the two nations in 11 years and England didn't wait long to jump on their American counterparts.
Richardson got his first goal in the fourth minute on a beautiful left-footed free kick from just outside the area past a helpless Kasey Keller.
The Americans had their chances after that, but England did well to contain the game in midfield and prevent the USA from using their pace to march forward.
Joe Cole had the best chance for England, briskly moving in from the right side and hooking a shot towards the far post that forced a superb save from a diving Keller.
Richardson made the Americans pay for missed chances just before the break, tapping in with his right foot on a loose ball in the area in the 44th minute for a 2-0 lead, silencing a crowd of 47,637 spectators at Soldier Field.
The USA took it to England in the second half, outshooting their opponents 9-3 in the last 45 and finally getting one past David James in the 79th minute.
Landon Donovan's free kick from the left fell into space in front of the net, allowing Carlos Bocanegra to get a boot to it. James parried his effort, but the ball fell to Clint Dempsey who tucked it past James for his first career USA goal in his sixth game.
The Americans had a chance to level the match, but Conor Casey could not gather control of the ball in the area before Zat Knight put the ball behind for a corner kick.
England will next be in action on Tuesday against Colombia in a friendly while the Americans next match is a World Cup qualifier against Costa Rica in Salt Lake City on June 4.
