Never a draw without a goal for the USA

The stars and stripes defense trembles. The United States have kept only two clean sheets in their last 27 World Cup matches, conceding 46 goals in that run. In the 33 matches played in the World Cup, the USA have never drawn 0-0. No other team has played so many games in the tournament without finishing a goalless game. Wales appear at a World Cup 64 years after the last time (1958): it is the longest gap between the appearances of a team in the history of the competition.

Wales and that challenge with Pelé

The United States qualified for the World Cup for the eleventh time and for the first time since 2014, when they were eliminated by Belgium in the round of 16. Wales reached the quarter-finals in their only previous participation in 1958 (eliminated by Brazil 0-1); a game which saw Pelé score his first ever goal of the tournament and become the youngest goalscorer in the competition (17 years, 239 days).
