Iran vs. USA clash in Group B

After maintaining their World Cup wishes by beating Wales strikingly on Friday, Iran clash against a brilliant USA squad at the Al Thumama Stadium on Tuesday, with three points sufficient to take either side through to the knockout stages.

Team Melli seemed like a new team against Rob Page's team to the one that was beaten by England in their opening game, whereas the Stars and Stripes will be regretting missed opportunities that compelled them to disseminate the points with the Three Lions last time out.

Iran notched up the performance levels that gained them a place at the World Cup during the 2-0 victory over Wales. Sitting second in Group B with three points from two matches, Iran is aware thart a victory over USA seals the deal for the knockout stages of the World Cup.
