Football World Championship
The American dream will last for a while. The United States qualified for its eighth World Cup after a narrow victory over Iran. Star Christian Pulisic’s goal before the break was decisive. Now the Netherlands is waiting for the United States. When and where to watch soccer live on TV or stream today. The game will be broadcast on Fox Sports 1 at 2:00 PM EST.
Iran and the United States in a nutshell:
- Key moment: The Americans set a tremendous pace in the game before the end of the first half, and also established a well-deserved lead. Pulisic scores the only goal of the match before the end of the first half.
- man of the match Especially in the first half, Sergino Dest got a street in front of him on the right. He also set the skin ready for Pulisic, who could hardly go wrong.
- noticeable: The United States kept a clean sheet for the second time in three matches in this tournament. That was in 1930.
Americans are furious across the field
The party was previously classified as particularly fraught on the political level. It was hard on the field, but in the good sense of the word. Americans raged across the field. They looked almost like Duracell rabbits. Whenever an American loses the ball, players fight for possession. This is called high pressure.
That eventually led to a goal. McKinney also knew the US fullbacks were very high and watched Dest out of the corner of his eye. With a great pass, Milan’s back was also reached. Dest, in turn, headed the whip towards goal and Pulisic was there to take advantage of it.
The United States enters the first half with a deserved lead. But also with anxiety, because “Captain America” Christian Pulisic (who scored 13 goals and 7 assists in 26 international matches) had to leave with an injury.
Group stage without defeat for the United States
But how long can they keep up this pace? The fastest rabbit’s batteries also run out at some point. It happened after a while. The Iranians fought their way back into the game. Of course, they knew that in the event of a tie, they would also qualify for the 1/8 finals. It was substitute Ghoddos who came close to a 1-1 draw twice.
In the end, Iran did everything it could, but it was no longer possible to score. No matter how bored Americans are. Still stumbling, they reached the finish line.
For the second time in history, the United States qualified for the 1/8 World Cup without losing a single match in the group stage. A hoax they actually ran in 2010.
Watch the goal:
-
End
It’s a wrap. The United States qualified for the 1/8 finals after a thriller in the second half. Iran is still advancing, but it has done little to claim a goal.
-
-
Iran wants a penalty kick!
Taremi almost takes advantage of the fog on Turner, but then goes down to the grass. Was there something wrong with Taremi? Carter Vickers didn’t make too many mistakes, but the VAR sees that too. So not eleven meters.
Iran is crying out for a penalty, which the VAR does not want to know about
-
Things are getting especially hot for Target Turner. Iran takes a free kick to the left and it cuts well. Boraliganji can only put his head against it, but he can’t frame his header.
Iran missed another excellent opportunity with a header in the final
-
9′ extra
He continues to bite the nail because aiming for Iran means a world of difference. Will he reach this goal in extra time? We play football for at least nine minutes.
-
It is survival for Americans.
-
Fatigue is now gradually creeping in on the Americans. Substitution is no longer possible, because the five substitutions have already been made. What are the Iranians still shaking off their slippers in the last phase?
-
-
We’ve been camping out on Half-Americans for quite some time.
-
Aaronson is next to hit the ground at roughly the same spot Sargent is now. Hosseini made a mistake this time and thus received a yellow card.
-
Sargent sprained his ankle after a duel. So he needs care.
