FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar LIVE: USA v Wales updates as Tim Weah gives USA the lead.

I wonder if USA can get him on the ball a bit wider, so he can run towards goal having got some pace up. So far, his possession has been in traffic.

Who barges through midfield then finds Dest, who batters a dreadful shot over the bar.

Wales just can't find him, and when they seek Ramsey down the left, Ampadu overhits his switch.

But nothing can explain how good it was better than it can explain itself. Given Italy didn't qualify, it might be the best we've got.

And Davies heads clear, ahead of Weah.

The ref thinks about booking but doesn't, which is the right call - there was very little contact, and the challenge was clumsy, not dangerous.

He's allowed to turn so does, feeding in Robinson ... who's crowded out. Wales have got to get tighter, because Pulisic can hurt them.

This has become scrappy. Maybe someone different needs to boot Neco Williams, just to keep us entertained.

Is that they don't have an out-ball, nor players who can hang onto it in midfield. Even Ramsey is a risk-taker, trying to make things happen rather than facilitate sustained pressure.

And for second, USA have space down the right. But they end up moving infield and over to the left - before Robinson is robbed by Roberts, alliteration lovers.

It's been 64 years, and the weight of history has been drummed into these players; I'd not be surprised if they needed time to acclimatise.

But it's not flat enough, Rodon looping a header back across before the ball's cleared to Ampadu outside the box and he lamps over from 35 yards.

Scissoring him with one leg then t'other; he's booked too, and that was a nasty challenge.

And is booked. Can Wales get James running at him?

Fed by Dest, Weah breaks down the right and slings over a decent cross; there's no one there, but Rodon hasn't checked and no one lets him know, so he nails a header that forces Hennessey into a smart reaction save. USA sustain the attack though, and when the ball comes back in from the other side, Sargent flicks a header just past the near post. Wales can't get into this at all.

Mepham sliding in to make the challenge at cost of a throw. It comes to nowt, but USA build again.

That's allowing Dest to get a long way forward, either stretching the play of making another man in midfield. I guess without Moore, Wales don't have the option of knocking it long and building from there.

They're quicker to the ball and stronger on it too. The question is whether, when they commit men forward, Wales can punish them.

It's such a shame that David Brooks has has the injuries and illness he's had. I liked the look of him myself, and when I interviewed Ryan Giggs a couple of years ago, he was raving about how goof Brooks was.

Is kicked away by the first man.

Who bodychecks him. Free-kick USA, 30 yards out, right of centre; Pulisic will swing it out...
