    The problem is, beating Iran will not be easy.

    If we can't beat Wales ...

      Yeah, I rethought about that shortly after posting. You’re correct. And if we can’t beat Iran we don’t deserve to go through to the knockout stage.

      But also you were right. It did take away a possible advancement scenario and a win vs Iran possibly would not have been needed, however unlikely the scenario.

      The USMNT just needs to get better today and beat Iran. All problems will be solved then.

          Yes. If you block the keeper or make a defender react to you in some meaningful way, you will be considered to have affected the play.

            I disagree. Wales was playing a man down when Iran scored both of their goals. Us needs a tie with England and a win over Iran and all is good. As Doc mentioned even a loss to England and a win at Iran would put the US in a good position. Bottom line, if US can't at a minimum beat Iran they don't deserve to advance.

                • Hard to ask for more. Our pressure on their back line and midfield has been very helpful.

                  Would be a big deal to get a draw or win and no yellow card DQs for the Iran match.

                  • Good thread. Not surprised to hear we have more xG.

                      It would have been FAAAAAAAR better for the US if Iran and Wales tied. Can you agree with that?

                        Yep. Particularly the second part of the half. First part was a bit shaky. Need to finish opportunities.

                        • Should be at least two yellow cards on England.
