Qatar 2022 World Cup – Who will win Iran against United States
Iranian team
The “Persian cavalry” defends Asian football
The Iranian team known as the “Persian cavalry” is a regular visitor to the World Cup. He has participated in the World Cup 6 times in history. The last time they were absent was the 2010 World Cup. Their best finish was 14th in the 1978 World Cup. The Iranian team had 8 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in the top 12 of this World Cup in Asia. This is a manifestation of the strength of the Iranian team, which can share the title of “strongest in Asia” with the Japanese team.
The coach of the Iranian team is the Portuguese Carlos Queiroz, 69 years old. He once discovered superstars like Figo and Rui Costa. He is the founder of the golden generation of Portugal. This is the second time he coaches the Iranian team. The Iranian team has many talented forwards, the most famous being Azmoun. The 27-year-old striker has worked hard in the Russian Super League for a long time in his career, played for Rubin Kazan, Rostov, Zenit St. Petersburg and other clubs, currently plays for Leverkusen, but could get injured. affect his World Cup journey. The team also has Porto forward Taremi and Feyenoord forward Jahanbakhsh, two players who play in the Europa League. Taremi just completed the 100-game milestone representing Porto recently. In the midfield of the Iranian team there are not many players who play in the European league, they are mainly from their own league clubs and many of them come from local giants Tehran Independiente.
Being the most average strength team, if the US team and the Welsh team can get a win and a draw, the Iranian team will have a high chance of qualifying. You know, the first World Cup victory in the history of the Iranian team was in 1998, when they defeated the US team.
Qatar and Iran face each other across the Persian Gulf. The geographical location and climate of the two places are close, and it is relatively convenient for many football lovers in Iran to watch football. The football federations of Iran and Qatar have a friendly relationship. The Iranian team often organizes training camps in Doha. Compared to opponents in the same group, the Iranian team is considered to have “half the home field”.

The civilian team unleashed a youth storm
The US team, ranked 16 in the world, marched in Qatar with an unprecedented youthful appearance: many players are participating in the World Cup for the first time and together they will cause a youth storm.
The US team has been to the World Cup 10 times and their best record in history is third place at the 1930 World Cup. Today, it is almost impossible for the US team to replicate their third place finish in the World Cup. The US team missed the last World Cup in Russia. In the North American and Caribbean qualifiers for this World Cup, the US team finished third and won a direct seat to Qatar.
The current head coach of the US team is 48-year-old Berhardt, who coached Swedish powerhouse Hammarby and the US team Columbus Crew. In December 2018, Berhart officially took charge of the US national team.
The number one star in the USA team is Pulisic who plays for Chelsea. This attacking midfielder with the nickname “Captain America” was mediocre at the club, but he carried the American team forward on his own strength. The forward line relies mainly on striker Timothy Weah who played for Lille and Dortmund’s Reina, the abilities of the two have yet to be seen. The US team has a rich pool of talent in midfield: Leeds United’s twin stars Aaronson and Taylor Adams, as well as Juventus’ McKenney, are all very capable players. In the backline and goalkeeper position, the US team looks a bit weak.
The protagonists of this American team are mostly young and capable, they can gain a foothold in the five major European leagues and their level is still growing. (Source: Beijing Evening News reporter Chen Jiakun)
Perspective analysis of the match Iran vs USA
After losing to England 2:6 in the first match, the Iranian team defeated Wales 2:0 in the second round and regained the lead. With victory in this campaign, the Iranian team will advance to the top 16 and also have a hope of taking first place in the group. In the event of a draw, provided the English team in the same group does not lose to the Welsh team, the Iranian team will still qualify for the group stage.
The US team’s situation is relatively difficult. They have drawn against Wales and England in their first two games and currently have 2 points. If they want to qualify, there is only one way to win.
Currently, the US team is ranked 16th in the world, and the Iranian team is ranked 20th, which is the same level. In terms of lineup, most of the US team’s core players are from the five major leagues, and most of them are young players; almost half of the players in the Iranian team also play in European leagues, and the team is more mature and stable. The overall strength of the two teams should be between equals.
As the world’s highest ranked team in Asia, Iran, who entered the World Cup for the sixth time, never advanced to the knockout stage. This time should rewrite history, and the “Persian cavalry” will never give up the opportunity easily. In addition, the Iranian team has always been brave and good at fighting, and has the iron spirit of “mortal combat” to the end, so it is not easy for the US team to win.
