After the United States and England battled to a 0–0 draw in Qatar, World Cup fans watching around the world may be starting to wonder what comes next following Friday’s match.
The U.S. men’s national team, coming off a 1–1 draw against Wales on Monday, turned in their first-ever World Cup scoreless draw in a match that didn’t end up having much of an impact on the group standings. Interestingly for coach Gregg Berhalter and the USMNT, the tight race developing in Group B could lead to a number of scenarios as the group stage nears it end.
With a 2–0 win over Wales earlier in the day, Iran now boasts three points and sat in a tie with England for first place until the draw. Iran’s big-time victory sets the stage for a dramatic finish for the USMNT, as the two sides will face off Tuesday in a huge match that will ultimately decide their fate.
