Why should the USA be better than us? They have some good individual players, but I don't think they are that special as a team. Germany also has good individual players and still completely deserved to lose to Japan. It's all about being a good team, withstanding the pressure, being dogged. We are not an amateur team, our players dominated Wales, something the USA only managed to do in the first half, we could well have won 4-0 against Wales yesterday if the two aluminium goals had gone in. The USA struggled to hold on for a 1-1 draw in the end. England played in slow gear yesterday, they know they shouldn't get too carried away, they're already squinting at their opponent in the last 16. In short, we are at least on a par with the USA and don't need to hide and are definitely not weaker than them.

Being the underdog doesn't mean we're that much worse than them, but they are definitely a better team. Keep using the narrative that England played in a lower gear. We could never control the midfield battle like that against England. They're definitely a good team and not one to be underestimated the way their fans are underestimating us.

You don't know what you are talking about. Objectively, if Iran plays at his regular level, stay focus, chances for Iran to win is about 75%. US is weaker than Iran. They have a few speedy players but they are inaccurate. We are stronger physically, technically and we have better individuals than them.

This statement isn't objective, do you even understand the meaning of the word? Lol a few speedy players? My guy, even on paper from an individual standpoint their talent without doubt exceeds ours. Physically stronger, yes. From a technical standpoint we're absolutely not better 😂 but Iran is still a really good team and on our best day we can compete with most countries in a close contest. I hope the USA from the second half of Wales is who shows up, but bottom line is we can't make mistakes and have to make them pay on the counter attacks.

Why are some Iranians afraid to admit this USA team is impressive and dangerous? They're not great, but they deserve credit.

They definitely deserve credit, they are stronger than before but if Iran plays at its regular level, Iran is objectively stronger. Actually, all asian team levels, beside Qatar got stronger and is above Africa today. Beside few European top level teams, like France, Germany, Belgium or England, Asian level is inches away from Europe. Look what Saudis, Japan, Korea or Australia are doing against European "average" teams.

USA is not bad, they have potential but they are not accurate. From individual standpoint ? Are you serious ? They have a few young kids who run fast and you talk about "talent" ? They are still far of having the talent of guys like Taremi, Azmoun, Jahabksht, Ghoddos, Golizadeh if they play at their proper level.

We don't need counterattacks, Azmoun and Taremi are physically much stronger, only with their physical strength, their defenders will fall like flies. We can shoot at distance, head on corners or centers, technically beat them, we have plenty of ways to score against them. Do you really think we will play only counterattacks against such a team ? You are talking as if USA is Brazil.

Even on paper, Wales is objectively stronger than them, if you analyse where their players are playing (quality of the teams). They qualified from EUROPE continent from a very tough groupe while USA qualified in the weakest continent.

Their 3 best players play in the midfield. I think the trio of Pulicic, Mckinnie and Adams are very good. And our weakness is in the midfield. That’s what scares me about this game. If we can have one of those classic Quiroz games and defensively negate their midfield, we will be ok. I think the key is to be very physical with them.

You are hyping usa like they are the next coming of brazil.
they are an avg team not great team at all.
Iran plays its game and it will prevail.

USA have lost their third group stage match on seven of their eight participations with this format in the FIFA World Cup, with the exception being a 1-0 win over Algeria in 2010.

USA have won 2 of their last 14 matches at the World Cup (D6 L6), drawing their two matches at this year’s edition.

Thanks for sharing! That’s pretty poor results.

Not at all. I don't think we're going to get killed or anything 😂 if we lose I'd imagine Really close dramatic game

Uhhhhh.... Right, okay. We'll come back to this, for SO MANY reasons 😂 I like your confidence though, wish I had it.

I honestly see this game as many parallels with Iran vs Morocco in 2018.

Moroccan had quite a strong midfield too: Bousouffa (captain and brain of team, years of experience as deep playmaker of Anderlecht and Lokomotiv Moscow), Al Ahmadi (really physical cdm with great gas tank and lot of experience in PL for Aston Villa, Feyenoord captain too), Younes Belhanda #10 of galatasaray at the time.

Out wide they had Harit and Ziyech, very comparable in terms of level to the likes of Pulisic, Weah/Reyna.

TM clogged the midfield and had special plan for harit/ziyech on the wings, made game quite physical, and relied on our fast transitions to disrupt the moroccans, who had considerably more experience than the US. At that time, morocco also lacked a true Albums and when they were confronted with lower block ran out of ideas. Usually a really solid 9 is key for such situations.

The difference I see with TM this time is that we are counter attacking but with way greater regularity and way better quality.

US has upper hand in CM and in wing positions on paper, but TM is superior in both boxes. Better CBs and CFs for sure.

And Im surprised nobody mentions how TM has upper hand in experience. This is a very young US team, they have never played a match of this magnitude. This same TM played a much stronger opponent, 4 years ago in a similar final game situation, they were involved in another such matchup vs Japan shortly after. The players should be able to recognize how to control such a game, stick to the gameplan, realize their moments, and stay calm. CQ superiority in all aspects over berhalter will help with game management, tactical adjusments/subs and a gameplan for addressing their superior midfield and dangerous wingers.

Azmoun's performance in particular vs Wales was key to me. His fitness I think will be fine for 65 mins at least and that dual threat up front is so hard to deal with. I like to see Torabi and Ghoddos more involved as well.

I don't like the fact that some people are under estimating the USA team. They are far better than England.

They are physical <-- Something we always strugle with .
They are tactical,
They are used to the heat,
They are fast,
They know how to open up the DF line.

So please please dont understimate them.

I have feeling tiredness will get us in the game against USA.

Btw does anyone know what color shirt we will be wearing against them? Hopefully its White.

Statistically with CQ we always play better in the 2nd half. If we managed to get out of the 1st half 0-0 or somehow get a goal advantage then we will be in good shape. I’m personally not concerned about tiredness this time around as CQ has been rotating players the past 2 games, so I won’t be surprised seeing 5-6 changes in the line up against the US. If anything, I think fatigue will impact USMNT more than us as they will likely field the same starting 11.
