USMNT Draws England (0-0) to Set Stage for Epic Group B Finale With Iran

The group stage in Qatar is drawing to a close this week, and there’s plenty of drama as we iron out the Round of 16. The U.S. Men’s National Team is still alive (for the moment) after holding England to a scoreless draw on Friday. That gives the USA two draws (2 points) in Group B, leading to a must-win match with Iran on Tuesday afternoon (2:00 pm ET). Six of the eight groups have played two matches with Groups G and H playing their second games today. So far, France is the only country with a 2-0-0 record through two matches.

Watch: USMNT draws England (0-0)

Group B Scenarios

With one match left in the group stage, the USMNT needs a win (not a draw) against Iran to secure a spot in the Round of 16 bracket. If Wales defeats England and Iran plays the USA to a draw, a three-team tie will go to goal differential to determine the Group B winners.
