Curiously, I looked ahead to potential US World Cup matches. July 6th could be a doozy.

The USA is already locked into their match on July 1st vs some 3rd place team.

If they win that match, and the current first place team in Group G advances to the July 6th match, it would be..

The US vs Iran.

fifa rankings have us at 20th in the world. Don't think we should be jumping ahead just yet.

It would be amazing if the US won their 3rd match, but I am not holding my breath. Still going to cheer for the red, white, and blue though. This is the furthest that we ever gotten in the World Cup. Even if we lose. Team USA has a lot of be proud of.

It is not.

We won our Group in 2010.

Yeah, an Iran team motivated by war and by having to stay in Mexico, play in America, and then immediately travel back to Mexico after each match. Do not want.

17th in rankings.

Potential knockout round matchups based on current standings: Bosnia/Herz, Ecuador, Sweden, Senegal and Jordan.

Don't want Ecuador or Senegal out of those 5.

Thing is, those Iranian athletes are probably praying for regime change and a return to the pre islamic fanatical insanity

I couldn’t disagree more.

If we win the whole damn thing, THEN we can be proud.

Just advancing to the next round and being happy about it is such a chickenshit loser mindset.

Probably so.

If we play them on 7/6, and win, they may be never heard from again when they go back to Iran.

Hard pass on anything soccer. We need fewer commie, third world sports, not more.

We won our Group in 2010.

The 1st World Cup was in 1930

In that World Cup... the US finished in 3rd place

That's the US's best World Cup finish

That's also the last time the US won back-to-back matches in a single World Cup before 2026

SHOCKING ALERT ??
DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin just dropped a BOMBSHELL on Fox News:
Iran tried to sneak IRGC terrorists — direct ties to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard — into America by hiding them in their World Cup soccer delegation!
Trump’s team caught them red-handed, blocked the infiltrators, and is now watching every Iranian crossing the northern border like hawks.
This is what an enemy nation does when they think we’re weak.
Iran isn’t a “partner.” They’re a deadly adversary playing dirty — and they just proved it again.
America First means NO MORE games with regimes that want us destroyed.
RT if you want ZERO tolerance for terrorist infiltration! ??
What’s your take? Should we ban all Iranian entries until they stop this?
