The USMNT has yet to win a game in the tournament, having tied with Wales and England. The Stars and Stripes now depend on themselves to qualify for the following round, though it won’t be easy.

Iran, led by experienced manager Carlos Queiroz, has taken a huge step towards the knockout phase by claiming all three points against Wales last time out. Therefore, many wonder what would happen if the USA-Iran game finishes level.
