MILLIONS of England fans were left disappointed after a 0-0 draw tonight but many still got boozy in pubs anyway to forget the 90 minutes of World Cup agony.
Three Lions supporters endured a tense nail-biter, but were devastated after Southgate's men took on the United States and failed to score.
England went close early doors when skipper Harry Kane's shot was blocked for a corner while Mason Mount had a point-blank effort saved.
Kane had a free header late on but missed the target in a dull display for the Three Lions.
The Americans defended resolutely throughout and were the closest to breaking the deadlock when Pulisic smashed a shot off the bar.
Southgate made a number of changes to try and spark the Three Lions into life with fans getting more and more nervy as the goalless match ticked on.
England supporters across the country were on the edge of their seats during the tense match as neither team managed to score.
Fans across the country were seen biting their fingernails and taking gulps from their pints while others had to look away.
Some were pictured with their hands on their heads as chance after chance went begging for the Three Lions.
Other frustrated fans yelled at the players who failed to score during a flat performance for Southgate's men.
A win would have seen England confirm their progress to the last 16 but it was not to be.
Gareth Southgate's side had headed into the game in stunning form after thrashing Iran 6-2 in their opener in Doha.
Earlier in the evening, raucous Three Lions fans were pictured in a party mood for tonight's drama by packing out pubs and flying the flag.

Millions were expected to be pulling a sickie today - despite the England vs USA game not kicking off till after work.
And expectant supporters who were already drinking since noon have continued to do so after a drab 90 minutes.
Some fans tried to keep the cheery pre-match spirit alive as they got involved at pubs in London.
Boxpark venues in Wembley and Croydon were still packed with fans who had arrived for a cheeky pint or two after clocking off work early.
Fans wearing national colors continued to drown drinks after England faced off against their transatlantic rivals.
Others were snapped donning player-themed fancy dress, with one supporter wearing a Harry Maguire mask while hoisting a replica World Cup trophy aloft.
The nerves soon got to fans as the goalless match ticked on.
And gutted Geordies stormed out of Newcastle’s Central Fan Zone after the disappointing draw.
Some headed to the bar to drown their sorrows while others stood shaking their heads.
Emily Farairrie, 19, a bar worker from Newcastle said: “It was
