I'm curious about that Wales-Iran match, not enough to wake up at 4 AM curious (since I have COVID), but I am curious.

Apparently you have covid. It's understandable. 

What’s the best outcome for the US wrt the wales-iran match?

Depends on what we do against England. 

A tie would be fantastic. An Iran win would be good, too.

Since England would possibly settle for a draw with Wales, we do NOT want a Wales win. 

England will rest one players Vs Wales, but they are so deep that they could crush Wales if they really pushed for it. (England can also crush us if they push for it, especially using set pieces.)

Iran winning by one goal, but looking awful doing it would give me the most confidence. A draw would be the second best outcome. 

If Iran draws Wales, then they can’t play for a draw vs us. So some might prefer a draw. 

Iran is the more dangerous side. They have better skill, appear to have more speed, and look like a team that could beat us.

Iran was committing tons of fouls and rarely being whistled for them in the first 15 minutes. 

I can’t believe that we didn’t beat Wales. 
 

PS- The U.S. could advance with 2 points. I wouldn’t bet on it happening, but it is possible.

A draw would be very nice at this point and then Wales would play 90 minutes against England with their backup keeper. 
 

YES!!!

Wales is trash and I think Iran is actually going to be a challenge to beat. 

We should have beat Wales and Iran should be leading them 1-0

2-0

Not optimal. 

Very optimal. All we have to do is beat Iran, they are making Wales goal differential worse and Iran's is already in the shitter from the 4 goal loss to England. Couldnt be going better for the USA.

I would have thought a 0-0 draw was best, followed by 1-0 Iran. Guess we'll see.

Going to need to beat Iran now. A draw most likely would send the US home.

How is this a bad result? This is literally the best result possible

0-0 draw would have been optimal.

Now a draw against Iran sends the US home most likely.

We were always gonna have to beat Iran and if we cant beat them, we have zero chance in the round of 16 anyways.

Why? Cuz we couldve somehow squeaked through on two points with some weird goal differential BS? LOL. Again, if we beat Iran we will be through, and if we cant beat Iran, we do not deserve to advance. We have been given a dream scenario... beat a middle of the road team to advance to the knockout rounds. 

A draw would have been best but an Iran win is better than a Wales win.

Loser's mentality. A draw wouldve been highly probable to send us home anyways and required everything to fall correctly. I dont want to advance out of a group on a bunch of ties. Win some fucking games and build some momentum.

Exactly. Just whip England's ass then Iran and let's LFG

Wales was also shockingly awful against us in the first half and then gregggg greggged.  
 

 

I wonder if egg will sit the guys on yellows since the Iran game is the crucial one

I was surprised how terrible Wales was today.

Seemed like they were playing for a tie, which didn’t work out. They didn’t even try a shot on goal for most of the second half.

1) We go from possibly advancing with a win or a draw to only being able to advance with a win.

2) W R O N G !!

2) We have had zero chance in the Round of 16 since September 2022.

3) Iran is better than we are. The positives are that:

A) Iran’s #7 picked up a second yellow and will miss the match against us.

B) Iran is likely going to continue to play with their 2nd string keeper.

That’s it.

Were people really hoping we were going to advance without a win? I love going into the 3rd game knowing a win gets us in. Hell, we can afford a 2 goal loss to England at this point.

This.  If it wasn’t in the plans to get 3 points off of someone we shouldn’t have shown up and I’ll take the loss if our team can’t get a win against either Iran or Wales.   

Tim Ream, Sergiño Dest, Weston McKennie, and Kellyn Acosta on yellows.

Can't get carded today or will be out against Iran I believe.

We avoided a Wales win which is the only result that really mattered.  We are fortunate to be in a win and advance situation before even kicking a ball on match day 2.

Correct

Oh shyt. Just watched key plays on YouTube tv. Bruh Iran deserved that !

Catching up and saw Wales got a red card in the 86”. But these stats really caught my eye. 21 shots and 7 corners on 38% possession but no break through until the 98”. Need to watch this one now.
