Hundreds of England fans face missing kickoff vs USA with half-hour delays getting into ground

HUNDERS of England fans are set to miss the first few minutes of the crucial World Cup clash with USA.

The Three Lions take on the Americans at the Al Bayt Stadium and a win could seal a place in the Last 16 after their 6-2 triumph over Iran.

According to Good Morning Britain correspondent Jonathan Swain, however, many England supporters will not be in the stands for kick-off.

That is because of “huge traffic queues” on the road to the football ground..

Swain tweeted: “Many England fans will miss the start of kick off – as huge traffic queues on the roads to get to the stadium. Utter Traffic chaos.”

ITV commentator Laura Woods added there are half-hour delays for drop-offs too.

England are looking to break one of their World Cup curses when they take on USA.

The two teams have faced off only twice in the past and the Three Lions have never managed to beat the Americans.

The United States served the likes of Stan Mortensen and Tom Finney with a major upset in 1950 when their part-time players won 1-0 in Brazil.

They met up again in 2010 when the nation’s Golden Generation drew 1-1 with the US after Rob Green’s famous howler in goal
