Tim Howard jokes he'd take a 4-0 DEFEAT for USMNT against England at the World Cup... and fears the showdown 'could get out of hand' against Gareth Southgate's team

Tim Howard has teased that 'he'd take' a 4-0 defeat if he were coaching the USMNT against old foes England in their second group stage game as he fears the matchup 'could get out of hand' against Gareth Southgate's men.

The former Manchester United and Everton goalkeeper made the comments while appearing on CBS Sports Podcast 'In Soccer We Trust' on Tuesday alongside former USMNT teammates Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies and Heath Pearce.

'What do you think about his prediction because 4-0 is not very flattering for us,' Conrad asks Howard after Pearce predicted the heavy loss for the Star and Stripes.
