Trippier hails 'good point' but understands boos of England fans

Kieran Trippier understands why England fans jeered the team following their goalless draw with the United States but insists they will be ready for a "battle" against Wales.

Having started their World Cup campaign with a 6-2 thrashing of Iran, England regressed in Friday's meeting with the US, who were the better side in a Group B meeting which ended in stalemate.

Gareth Southgate’s side are still firm favourites to advance into the round of 16 but a tepid display, with just one meaningful shot on target, left supporters unhappy and boos were heard inside the Al Bayt Stadium at full-time.

"Of course the fans want to see goals and to win matches," said Trippier when asked about the mixed reaction.

"But all I can say to that is that the commitment from the boys is there, we give 100% in every single game.

"Of course we understand the frustration because we didn’t win the game but we gave everything, a point is a good result.

"The one thing about my team-mates and myself is we give everything, as soon as we cross that white line, we give everything to win.

"Unfortunately, we didn’t win but it’s a good point – we kept a clean sheet, it is a good point for us in the group and we just move on now, focus on the next game."

England’s third and final group game comes against neighbours Wales on Tuesday evening, with Rob Page’s men all-but eliminated having lost to Iran and drawn with the United States.

England top Group B heading into the final game and know progress is assured so long as they avoid a 4-0 loss on Tuesday.
