The national teams of Iran and the USA took to the turf at the Al-Thumama Stadium this evening (Tuesday) for a decisive match in Group B of the World Cup. So decisive, that this time you can really put aside all talk of politics and concentrate only on what is happening on the field. The equation is relatively simple: victory Iran's will in any case advance them to the round of 16, regardless of the result in the corresponding match. A draw will advance Iran to the round of 16 only if Wales does not beat England in the corresponding match. In the event of a draw, the USA is out anyway.

A victory for the USA in any case will advance them to the round of 16, regardless of the result in the corresponding match.

In the previous meeting between the teams in the group stage in 1998, Iran won 1:2 and now hopes to achieve two victories in the same tournament for the first time and make history with a ticket to the round of 16.

The Americans did miss Russia 2018, but before that they reached the round of 16 of the World Cup twice in a row and in 2002 recorded the record achievement with a place in the quarterfinals.

Sardar Azmon kept his place in Iran's squad, with Alireza Jahanbakhsh absent due to yellows.

Goalkeeper Alireza Byrneband, who was injured during the 6:2 defeat to England and missed the victory over Wales, is back between the posts.

Josh Sargent returned to the US attack, Cameron Carter Vickers was preferred over Walker Zimmerman in defense.
