It's gameday and it appears we need a thread. I believe the game is on big Fox at 1:00 PM CST but please correct me below if I'm wrong.

I'm beginning to feel like a point is a requirement out of this game. I have a sneaky suspicion that a win against Iran won't be enough to get out of the group.

Correct. On Fox.
Actual kick is 1pm (I'm central). Coverage should start at 12pm (pregame ).

Thanks! It's been corrected. Brain fart when I did the math from where I'm located.

No problem!

Stakes are huge for this game. Not only does the winner (probably) advance to the knockout stage, but

Jeff Jeff Jeff. You have one job. One. And you fell down hard.

If this is a spectacular disaster today you will be blamed for years. If this turns the tide in a good way you will be blamed for all previous losses.

Either way, you are out of a job.

It's either the best thing or worst.

We'll find out.

I hope we go after them today. I think one of the keys is pressing their back line at times. Not all game but we gotta put pressure on their CBs and capitalize on the mistakes, otherwise just be clean defensively and counterattack quickly.

I'm curious how Berhalter lines is up. I want to see Gio!

Not necessarily, we will need 4 points in our final 2 matches to ensure going through the knockout round.

If we beat England and tie Iran
* US 5 pts
* England (6, 4 or 3 depending result vs Wales)
* Iran 4 pts
* Wales (4, 2 or 1 depending result vs England)

If we tie England and beat Iran
* US 5 pts
* England (7, 5 or 4 depending result vs Wales, they'd be all but assured to go through on GD)
* Iran 3 pts
* Wales (4, 2 or 1 depending result vs England)

Still much easier to beat Iran than England.

Need a result here today. A loss would make things very interesting on the final day.

Honestly there isn't much of a difference between a tie and a loss now. A win would be huge, however.

Yes. I think a result would be better to build off of going into Iran game. Even a 0-0 tie would mean we would head in with confidence after a disappointing result against Wales.

You think Wales will beat the England B team? That seems unlikely based on the fact they've played 20-30 min of quality soccer in 2 games

Would've preferred Sargent but that gives me a reason to be angry if we lose
