With the United States men’s national team recorded a scoreless draw against England in Friday’s World Cup match, the U.S. finds itself in an interesting scenario to determine if the team can still manage to advance out of the group stage.
The USMNT, who entered Friday’s game after recording a 1-1 draw against Wales on Monday, will now face Iran in its final group stage match on Nov. 29. If the USMNT defeats Iran, it will secure a spot in the knockout stage.
If the USMNT loses to Iran, the club’s hopes for making a knockout stage appearance would be very slim as only the top two teams advance out of each group stage.
