The United States has experienced one of each in the group stage of this World Cup.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">Squandering a late lead against Wales in the 1-1 opener Monday left a bad taste, but standing up to mighty England in a 0-0 stalemate Friday was cause for light celebration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">Nothing good, however, would come from another draw on the final day of Group B play Tuesday.  The United States (two points) must beat Iran (three points) to finish in the top two and advance to the round of 16. With a loss or tie, this World Cup adventure ends.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p><span class=\"font--article-body font-copy hide-for-print ma-0 pb-md db italic interstitial\">World Cup tiebreakers and advancement scenarios, explained<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">When the 32-team competition began, getting out of the group was the threshold for modest success after missing the 2018 tournament and infusing the roster with young players.  Now the Americans are in position to finish their first mission.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">\u201cWe&#8217;re not going to overthink it,\u201d defender Tim Ream said.  \u201cWe win, we&#8217;re in.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">England (four points) leads the group and, by beating Wales (one), would clinch first.  A draw would also secure passage to the next stage.  The only way the Three Lions would not finish first or second were if they lost to the Dragons by a lopsided score and wasted their hefty goal differential (the first tiebreaker).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p><span class=\"font--article-body font-copy hide-for-print ma-0 pb-md db italic interstitial\">Absent from the World Cup for 64 years, Wales insists: &#8216;We are still here&#8217;<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">The outcome of England vs.  Wales, though, will have no bearing on the US cause.  It&#8217;s three points or bust.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">\u201cIt&#8217;s clear now,\u201d US Coach Gregg Berhalter said.  \u201cAny time you&#8217;re in a World Cup and you get to go into the last group game controlling your destiny, that&#8217;s a pretty good thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">The last time the United States was in such a World Cup predicament was 2010 in South Africa.  That campaign also began with a pair of draws, including one against England.  Needing three points in the group finale against Algeria, the Americans were on the precipice of elimination when Landon Donovan scored one of the most famous goals in US soccer history \u2014 a desperate, full-field team surge in stoppage time that sparking wild celebrations on the Pretoria pitch and back home.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p><span class=\"font--article-body font-copy hide-for-print ma-0 pb-md db italic interstitial\">From the archives: Landon Donovan&#8217;s goal means Americans advance<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">On a 2022 squad packed with players in their late teens and early twenties, that moment was the one cited most frequently when they&#8217;ve been asked to recount their first or best World Cup memory.  Donovan is now part of the Fox Sports announcing team in Qatar.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">\u201cHopefully not as dramatic as that goal,\u201d captain Tyler Adams, 23, said of Tuesday&#8217;s prospects.  \u201cI don&#8217;t want to leave it till the end.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">They&#8217;ve left it to the last game, with not a sliver of room for error, because they&#8217;re not scoring goals.  Defensively, they&#8217;ve been terrific, conceding only a penalty kick.  But the scoring drought that haunted them through much of the nervy World Cup qualifying campaign has festered since the summer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">\u201cAt times, we wanted to get even deeper and get the ball in front of goal and give them real problems,\u201d Berhalter said Friday.  \u201cBut you know, at this level goals aren&#8217;t easy.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">They have not come easy against a variety of opponents.  In the past seven matches, the United States has been blanked four times and posted multiple goals once \u2014 against Grenada, No.  173 in FIFA&#8217;s rankings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">Another empty performance will send them home.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">An ambitious first-half performance against Wales yielded a goal by Tim Weah, assisted brilliantly by Christian Pulisic.  The second half was a slog.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">On Friday, the United States created more high-quality opportunities than England, a surprising development given lingering US issues and England&#8217;s 6-2 romp over Iran four days earlier.  Again, though, the Americans were missing that finishing touch.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">The Three Lions were panned for their performance.  The Sun&#8217;s headline said, \u201cYawn in the USA.\u201d  The Daily Mail declared, \u201cBoring, Boring England!\u201d  and the Evening Standard called it a \u201cReality Check as England second-best to USA in deflating World Cup draw.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">Berhalter stopped short of calling Friday&#8217;s match a grand success because, \u201cyou need the score to win the game, and we didn&#8217;t do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">\u201cWe&#8217;re close a number of times and we put a lot of pressure on them,\u201d he said.  \u201cAnd we want to keep getting better in this tournament, and that&#8217;s our goal.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<div data-qa=\"article-video\" class=\"\">\n<div>\n<figure class=\"pt-xs mb-md mr-auto-ns ml-auto-ns hide-for-print ml-neg-gutter mr-neg-gutter\"><figcaption>\n<p>On Nov.  25, the US and England soccer teams tied in an anticipated World Cup matchup.  Iran shocked Wales with a 2-0 win, scoring two goals late in the game.

One of 10 shots against England was on target, not including Pulisic&#8217;s bid off the crossbar.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">\u201cIf you create 100 chances, at least one of them is going to go in eventually,\u201d said midfielder Weston McKennie, who squandered a golden chance in the first half.  \u201cThe most important thing was that we created the chances and that we can be a threat.  And that will just build.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">On Tuesday, the Americans will also have to match Iran&#8217;s spirit.  Team Melli rebounded from the disaster against England to perform with high energy and untethered belief in a 2-0 victory over 10-man Wales.  Both goals came in second-half stoppage time, just rewards after attacking with gusto all afternoon and clanging the posts twice in rapid succession during a second-half flurry.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">The Iranians were also coping with unrest back home and the arrest of a well-known player, Voria Ghafouri, for protesting against the Tehran regime.  (He is not on the World Cup squad.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p><span class=\"font--article-body font-copy hide-for-print ma-0 pb-md db italic interstitial\">Iran&#8217;s World Cup victory stirs joy, but tensions over protests persist<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">Since the World Cup draw in April, the United States-Iran game has been framed as not just a sporting event but a clash of political enemies.  On Friday, Berhalter played that down.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">\u201cI played in three different countries and I coached in Sweden,\u201d he said.  \u201cAnd the thing about soccer is you meet so many different people from around the world, and you&#8217;re united by the common love of the sport of soccer.  I envision the game being hotly contested for the fact that both teams want to advance to the next round, not because of politics or relations in our country.  We&#8217;re soccer players and we&#8217;re going to compete.  They&#8217;re going to compete, and that&#8217;s it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wpds-c-jjHkyS hide-for-print\">\n<div data-qa=\"content\" class=\"wpds-c-bBtBOR wpds-c-bBtBOR-iPJLV-css\">\n<h3 data-qa=\"linkbox-headline\" class=\"wpds-c-jtAZFm\">World Cup in Qatar<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wpds-c-eynqHn\"><b>The latest: <\/b>The United States draws with England, 0-0, in its second World Cup game Friday to set up a must-win group finale against Iran.
