U.S. eliminates Iran and England passes as first

England and the United States are the Group B qualifiers for the round of 16 at the Qatar 2022 World Cup. Gareth Southgate’s men stroll by Wales winning 3-0 while Berhalter’s men manage to snatch a pass to the next stage thanks to Pulisic’s goal, which eliminates Iran.

A hard-fought match at Doha’s Al Thumana Stadium, with the Americans taking the ball in their hands but struggling to find the winning goal against the organized lineup fielded by Queiroz. It was Pulisic who, on an assist from Milan’s Dest, put the blue-shirted team up 1-0 at the close of the first half. In the second half, Iran tried and even came close to equalizing on more than one occasion but the result did not change: the U.S. passed as runners-up and will find the Netherlands.

Match with a completely different trend at the Ahmed bin Ali Stadium in Al Rayyan, where England scored their second win in three matches, thus gaining the lead in Group F. First half in which the English pushed, trying mainly with Rashford and Foden, but without unlocking the result. The script of the match changes in the first minutes of the second half: Southgate’s men find two goals in the course of two minutes, precisely with the Manchester United player and the Manchester City player. It was Rashford again who closed the game, in the 68th minute. England goes through as first and will take on Senegal.
