If Iran wins today, we're one step closer to a Iran/USA Round of 16 match on July 6th.

Spain losing today would do wonders for USA's chances to get past the quarterfinals. Unlikely though

This has the chance to be an awesome day - a lot to play for with all of these teams

Definitely can't miss the nightcap Egypt-Iran pride game and Belgium needing to thrash NZ

them winning could be bad news for US as Belgium would likely take group.

If Iran are going to win group they need to beat Egypt as badly as Belgium beat New Zealand to remain ahead of them on GD/GF tiebreaker

Belgium just needs to outscore Iran by +1 goals if they win today to take the group.

Right, which is likely to happen. I’d be game for Iran winning group and getting paired with them in R16 but that’s a very small probability. Belgium will be out to score plenty goals against NZ today

No givens in any knockout game but to keep things simple for US I’m rooting for Egypt to win the pride match today so we’re assured to be favorites in R16 matchup. Not that they’re all that but we’d be underdogs against Belgium

I don’t see Iran beating Egypt. Hope Egypt takes the group. Belgium sucks and are washed.

Norway conceding the group to the French and are fine with a 2nd place finish?

That would set the Norwegians up to take on the Ivory Coast in the R32

ETA: would also essentially confirm Germany vs. France in the R16
