AL RAYYAN, Qatar -- US defender Walker Zimmerman said he and his teammates have no problem with the pressure that comes with a must-win game.
The US men's national team will face Iran at the Al Thumama Stadium on Tuesday, with a spot in the knockout rounds on the line. Iran is one point ahead of the Americans in the standings thanks to Team Melli's 2-0 win over Wales, making the game a must-win for the Americans, while a draw will likely be enough for Iran to advance.
"Our goal is obviously to win the World Cup, and in order do that, we have to get to the knockout stages," Zimmerman said.
