The math is simple for the United States in Tuesday’s Group B finale against Iran. A win gets them into the round of 16. Any other result and they are eliminated in the group phase for the first time since 2006.
It’s a scenario familiar for long-time American fans who remember the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, when the USA needed and got a 1-0 win over Algeria on the final day of group play following two draws.
But unlike that 2010 Algeria squad, Iran also have plenty to play for. A win would guarantee their own passage to the next round for the first time in their national team’s history. A draw would keep them alive and likely to progress unless Wales can pull off a shock against England in the other group B match.
This is the pair’s second all-time meeting at the World Cup. Iran defeated the United States 2-1 in the second game of group play in 1998.
