The USA are one of the most fun teams to watch in this World Cup… and that gives them a good lead, because they are two points behind. Gregg Berhalter knows that now we will have to win.
The United States will have been superior to their two opponents thus far… without this appearing on the board. Two games, two points: After the Iranian victory against Wales, Team USA is backed to the wall. “We are proud of tonight’s result but the job is not done. We will need five points to qualify. We have to win against Iran, the equation will be simple: win or be eliminated,” he said Gregg Berhalter at a press conference after the game.
This decisive meeting will take place on Tuesday and already promises to be exciting, even beyond the political context. “The match will be played because both teams want to qualify. Not because of the political relations between our two countries. We have to bring very different people together through football,” Berhalter said. “We are footballers and we are here for the competition, that’s all.”
