World Cup 2022: Iran vs USA match preview
The United States and Iran, diplomatic rivals for more than 40 years,
clash on the football pitch on Tuesday, their places at the World Cup
on the line in a fitting finale for the most politically charged group
at this year’s tournament.
The national team coaches sidestepped the icy bilateral relations,
saying they were focused on the tournament and its ability to bring
people together.
“I envision the game being hotly contested for the fact that both
teams want to advance to the next round, not because of politics or
because of relations between our countries,” said U.S. coach Gregg
Berhalter.
Iran’s dramatic 2-0 win over Wales and the U.S. team’s tense goalless
stalemate against England on Friday set up a tantalising final round of
Group B matches.
England, sitting top with four points, faces bottom side Wales,
meaning the Iran-United States contest will decide which team goes
through to the round of 16.
The eagerly awaited meeting is a rematch of the 1998 World Cup group
stage contest, dubbed the “mother of all games”, which Iran won 2-1. In a
symbolic moment before that match at Lyon’s Stade Gerland, the Iranian
players gave white roses, a symbol of peace in the country, to their
American opponents.
Overshadowing Iran’s World Cup build-up this year has been civil
unrest at home over the September death in police custody of 22-year-old
Mahsa Amini, arrested for flouting the country’s strict Islamic dress
code.
Iran declined to sing Iran’s national anthem in its first game
against England in an apparent show of solidarity with protesters. It
sang quietly on Friday at the Ahmad bin Ali Stadium, where boos and
jeers were heard from Iran supporters.
Amid growing public pressure on players to take a stand over a deadly
crackdown on protests, Iran rallied late against Wales to rescue a
World Cup campaign that seemed to have flatlined following its 6-2
thrashing by England.

Berhalter, whose exuberant side drew 1-1 with Wales in their group
opener, described the match as his team’s “first knockout game” of the
World Cup and was wary of the threat posed by Iran after their
second-half assault against Wales.
“Now we need to be sure that we are good enough to go to the second
round,” Iran coach Carlos Queiroz said after his team kept alive its
hopes of a first ever trip to the knockout stage.
“The U.S. is a brilliant team as well, as we saw them against Wales.
“Our preparation starts with a good rest, refresh the minds and put
all the complementary and garbage things outside of our minds and focus
on our goal, because what we want to do is to give this gift to Iranian
fans.”
