Three Thoughts as the USMNT Advances to Knockouts

The United States went in knowing they had to win to advance to the knockouts and did just that in a less than comfortable down the stretch 1-0 win against Iran earlier today.

The win gives the USA second place in Group B win an unbeaten 1W-0L-2D record and five points as England topped the group with seven points beating Wales 3-0 in their finale.

The USMNT finishes group play with two Matt Turner shutouts, only one goal conceded from a penalty kick in three games, and a Christian Pulisic winner in which he quite literally sacrificed himself and potentially future generations to get the US to the next stage.
