Comment Iran vs US: Realizing the dream
Iran has participated in the World Cup finals 5 times and they soon stopped in the group stage. Also for the above reason, NHM does not put too much expectation on the West Asian team in the 2022 World Cup finals.
In fact, on the very first day of the army, Iran was poured cold water when it lost 2-6 to England and deserved to be at the bottom of the table. But then things quickly turned around only in the second match of Group B. As you know, Iran had a tight 90 minutes and helped them beat Wales with a score of 2-0.
With the above 3 points, Iran jumped from the bottom of the table to second in Group B and opened the door to the knockout round. In theory, Iran holds the right to self-determination if they have all 3 points ahead of the US. Even if there is only a draw result, coach Carlos Queiroz's army can completely go through if Wales cannot win against England.
If Iran has a comfortable mentality, the US enters the final match of Group B with the task of winning at all costs. In terms of squad depth, the US is slightly better, but based on the current performance, 3 points is not an easy task for the American team.
Remember, the US drew both matches played at the World Cup and raised the winning streak to 5 consecutive matches.
