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.
