Japan strikes first.

2nd goal was a paint thinner away

Tunisia team seems confused and listless. Looks like they will be eliminated from the tournament tonight.

The US will likely play Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Round of 32

That's not good. BH players are big/tall and physical which US tends to struggle against. Qatar, Ecuador and Senegal are teams US matches very well.

Yeah, they are hyper nationalists, though I think the average Iranian is still a bit more deluded, lol. Their team is far superior to ours in technical ability (although we usually draw against them). The ranking system is hilarious, we beat most Asian teams and they rank us 20th in the world, even though we are largely evenly matched with the technical ability of New Zealand, ranked 80th.

Our defence is worse than it has been in a long time. I didn't think I'd be missing Cheshmi, but here we are. Not having Hosseini or Gholizadeh are also big misses.

You arent factoring the polava with visa and hotel issues. The iranian team hasnt had for example the same protocol as others or 5 star treatment. Literally shipped around and not knowing where they are training etc.
Surely that will hinder their performance bro

Ameicans should not have been allowed to hold world cup ad true to form they refused to allow an African ref into the country and refused to allow Iranian support staff visas.

The global south needs to take a stand
