Here’s what needs to happen in the World Cup for the USMNT to move on to the knockout stages

The United States finished Friday’s World Cup game against England with a 0-0 tie.

And now? The USMNT has one more match against Iran that will decide if they’ll move on to the knockout stages beyond Group B.

Here’s what needs to happen in order for the U.S. team to move on to the next round: They need to beat Iran — no ties! They can’t lose! — and they’re in. England has four points to lead the the group, while Iran has three. The USMNT has just two after two ties, and Wales has one.

There you have it. The path is clear. Hopefully, the squad can get it done in Qatar on Tuesday.

What needs to happen for the @USMNT to make it out of Group Stage? 🤔

Here is every clinching scenario based on potential results vs England ✅
