At this World Cup, Asian teams are attracting a lot of attention. Although Iran lost 6-2 to England in the first round, they came back in the second round and beat Wales.
Team Melli scored 2 goals in a row against Wales at the last minute and took the win. Two of Iran’s goals were scored by Rouzbeh Cheshmi in 90+8′ minutes, and Ramin Rezaeian in 90+11′ minutes.
An additional 3 points put Iran in second place in Group B standings. Carlos Queiróz’s troops are only 1 point away from England, who are now at the top of the standings with 4 points from 2 matches.
Iran will face the United States in the final round of the World Cup group stage in Qatar. Whoever wins tonight’s game will team up with England to qualify for the knockout stages.
Regardless of the political situation that is happening outside, from the perspective of the strengths of both sides, the United States is a strong team with a good defensive formation. It was proven that they were able to hold on to a goalless draw against England in the last game.
Therefore, even though the Iranian team is in high spirits after the win over Wales, the hope of beating the USA team in this game can be said to be not easy.
The Yanks are currently right below Iran in the standings in Group B. Even though they have never won, Gregg Berhalter’s troops have also never lost in their previous 2 matches.
