They successfully have a chance to play in round 16 but they will have to wait for clearer confirmation from medical team on an injury of Pulisic. He is so important for their system and I don't say it because he just scored one goal for them. Pulisic can bring creativeness to USA attacking system which can not be provided by other players in their squad.

Compare the USA and Netherlands is, Netherlands are stronger but who knows in World Cup knock-out matches?

Kane did not score a single goal for England but he had three assists and became a first player after David Beckham, who can have up to 3 assists in one World Cup. Kane did evolved a lot recent seasons and he sharpened his passing skills. Since the past three seasons, he has played more like a play-maker for both Tottenham and England.

In this World Cup, Kane does not have his best fitness which looks like is affecting his general contribution for England.

With me it is not surprise.

Wales had their first World Cup after many decades but their quality now is worse than their successful Euro a few years ago. Aaron Ramsey, Gareth Bale are no longer at highest level like years ago. And Wales did not have other younger players who can replace those legend players.

Bale scored some important goals for them but he does not have enough power to play a complete match. It is unreasonable to require a player who is not ready to play in club but can carry their national team to success.

Bravo! I have never doubted the USA against Iran, and the team did well, they planned their world cup strategy very well and got to the round of 16. This means so much, their main defensive strategy is paying off. They could not qualify for the 2018 tournament, but they have proven again that they are worthy contenders in this year's competition. And as for your concern about whether they have ever qualified for this round, yes, they qualified in 2010 and 2014. The team has always faced challenges, but they mostly give their opponents trouble if they want to.

Looking at today's game schedule I saw that Argentina is going head-to-head with Poland, if one looks closely you will know that Poland is not a small squad for Argentina since Poland is not a match for Saudi Arabia which defeated Argentina in the opening game of the world cup.

But if Argentina can defeat Poland today, that will be the beginning of another face of motivation for Argentina in this year's world cup.

this is a tough match in this group, i think argentina will stay focused to win the match because saudi arabia could surprise again win against mexico, no one knows about this world cup surprise because almost all the team work hard as best they can to qualify to the next round of the last 16

No, you are wrong about this. The sweet record that the United States carved out repeated their success in the 2010 World Cup. The United States also made the same record as a team that made it to the round of 16 at a World Cup without losing a group stage match for only the second time in their history.
The United States still has a long way to go, in the last 16 they will be challenged by the Netherlands. The quality of the Dutch players in this World Cup is very good. The United States must be careful with the Netherlands because the Dutch's ambitions can make them have to return sooner than expected.

In group B, Wales surprised me. It may be normal to lose to England, but when the groups were determined, comments were made that they would finish 2nd in the group. The 2nd fight with the USA was expected, but I was disappointed that it was this bad. Losing to Iran in the 2nd match was a complete disaster. Yesterday, I expected a draw in Iran USA match, but with Pulusic's goal, Abd won and went to the next round. In the next round, his opponent was the Netherlands, and now things have become more difficult for the USA. Football, this is not obvious, but Abd in the round of 16 can say goodbye to the tournament.

There are various calculations among Argentines about the win and loss or draw of today's match. If Argentina can beat Poland then Argentina will go up. In the other match of the group, if Saudi Arabia-Mexico draw, Argentina will go to the second round even if they draw with the Poland. If the Saudis win, Argentina will have no choice but to win. If Mexico wins, Argentina draws and the goal difference calculation will come. Poland will go to the second round if they get 1 point against Argentina. If they lose, Poland will have to look at the Saudi Arabia-Mexico match.

I feel like USA was simply stronger than Iran in yesterday night's match. Iran lacks fast, physically strong players to compete in modern football (although I don't deny they have talented midfielders). On the other hand USA is having hard time scoring a goal, I mean they should have made it 3-0 at first half but they could only win 1-0. I think USA deserved 2nd place but they won't be able to beat Netherlands. Netherlands is far better and creative team than USA.

The performance from pulisic during the world cup has been making him aimed by some teams. I think that pulisic has a very great potential. it can be seen from his performance with US. He was always giving huge contribution to the US. Im sure he will be playing against netherlands too. Pulisic has become a key player for USA. That will be a very bad choice for USA for not let him to play against netherlands. USA's performance actually depending with him too.
That's very good to see that USA able to beat ira with small score but USA has been securing full points against iran.

Congratulations to US for the victory they got to move forward to make their fans happy in this FIFA world cup competition, because Iran really made the match tough for US. Christian pulisic was the one that scored the winning goal that made them to defeated Iran 1-0 to qualified in group B with England. I think, US coach will definitely use some players in their next match to play, because many people are not happy about the results they got from Iran match because their strikers missed so many opportunity that could have made them to defeat Iran 4-0 but they managed to achieve one goal to secured the victory.

Some people believe Kane hasn't reach to his top performance in this tournament that's why Kane cannot playing well but as a captain he still being an important player for England and maybe Kane still hasn't scoring goals yet but so far he has 3 assists i think this indicated Kane has help other players to scoring goals and bringing England to round of 16 and for their next opponent Senegal could be tough opponent for England considering this team had epic comeback while against Ecuador but Senegal had poor records while against the teams from Europa so this might be can utilized to England to won the match but i am confident England will going to win the match and qualified to quarterfinal

Maybe it will be the first time in their history to qualify for the next round, because as far as I know that the US has never made it past the group stage, so maybe this is the first time..

I see from the eyes of the United States players and their supporters that they are very happy to have passed the group phase with England. United States to qualify in this group phase but my guess in this gambling I was not wrong to choose the United States and England to qualify in the group phase. don't be too happy just yet because in front of your eyes in the last 16 you will meet other big teams who have been waiting to have to try very hard again to be able to beat the Dutch national team which is filled with the best and quality players in the Dutch national team like Sergio Van Dijk he is one of the best defenders right now hopefully the game is very exciting and can be tight

No doubt Christian Pulisic is the star man for the USA team. He’s been exceptional at this World Cup. Carried the team in both games now. I think he needs to be available for their clash against the Netherlands to boost their team spirit. Also if you look at the USA midfield, Musah, Adams and Mckenie, these guys have been outstanding in this World Cup too. They are very combative and intelligent on and off the ball, I think they can go toe to toe with the best mildfield in this World Cup.

I watched at first half match only between USA vs Iran most bored match and I don't see huge pressure from Iran in this match, I don't know about last issues about threat for Iran's family player at this games but actually Iran under pressure and less fighting spirit against with USA. I have expected when Iran won from Wales last match can qualify to next round because 1 points have been enough for Iran securing to the next round, but beaten by USA have closed Iran opportunity for the first time in World Cup participants history playing on knock out round.

Congrats for USA and England have secure for next round and waiting next match for England against Senegal and USA have waiting for by Netherland on 16 round.

With the victory that America got over Iran, America became runner-up in group B and it has been confirmed that America will get a place to advance to the last 16 of the world cup by collecting 5 points, while England has already got a ticket to the last 16 after beating Wales and managed to collect seven points, while from group A, the Netherlands and Senegal who have managed to secure tickets to the last 16, I'm looking forward to the match between Argentina vs Poland, because I'm still curious if Messi et al can bring their country to the last 16 of the world cup .

the England vs Wales match was a match in which I had predicted England would win big because in terms of productivity England was superior. it's good to be the runner up. and for tonight's match there are many predictions that will appear. An exciting match is between Argentina and Poland, this is a life and death match for Argentina and Poland because looking at the statistics of Saudi Arabia and Mexico, maybe one of them will qualify, for example, Argentina and Poland. one of them losing means not qualifying, but I predict Saudi Arabia will win against Mexico hopefully my guess is right

Sarr stunning penalty goal was not an easy one to pin the goalkeeper still. It's one of the good penalty kicks in the world cup and Senegal thrash ecuador 2-1 to qualify for the next round of 16. Jubilation as the fans were chanting and cheering in the stadium. Senegal were leading 1 nil in the first half but ecuador levelled the game in the second half to keep all hope alive, not for long Koulidou Koulibaly made the difference on goal with enough pressure from the Lions.

The Iran vs USA match was a match with lots at stake as both teams had a chance to seal a place in the knockout stages. I expected a draw because from their previous games, both teams have shown that they’re capable of doing something extraordinary. But Iran, who would have gone through with a draw, mustered just one shot on target as they were knocked out. In the end, USA made the knockout stages for the third time in four tournaments.

I honestly expected more goals in this match. Iran started first 5 minutes with attacking and later just stopped and parked the bus,once they conceded a goal they tried to attack but that didnt work at all. USA also in second half just defended and pretty well,but i dont think that USA will go far in the knockout faze
