BREAKING | The U.S. men’s national soccer team has managed a narrow 1-0 win against Iran in a tense FIFA World Cup showdown, catapulting them into the Round of 16 for just the fifth time in history.
The U.S. men’s national soccer team eked out a narrow 1-0 win against Iran in a tense FIFA World Cup showdown on Tuesday, catapulting them into the Round of 16 for just the fifth time in history. Star midfielder Christian Pulisic scored the game’s only goal in the 38th minute but, in devastating news for U.S. fans, he suffered an abdominal injury in the process and was removed from the game at half time.
The U.S. will now face the Netherlands on Saturday. The lead-up to the match had been nervy; U.S. coach Gregg Berhalter was forced to apologize for posts on the team’s social media accounts that altered the Iranian flag as a show of support for human rights protests sweeping the country. Iranian players mumbled their way through the anthem after reportedly being threatened by the regime with imprisonment and torture if they didn’t.
