U.S. players proud to put their bodies on the line to beat Iran, advance at World Cup

LA Times  

U.S. players celebrate after defeating Iran to advance to the Round of 16 at the World Cup on Tuesday. The U.S. needed a victory over Iran to get to the World Cup’s final 16 and it got what it came for Tuesday, but just barely. United States’ Christian Pulisic scores his side’s opening goal during the World Cup group B match against Iran in Doha, Qatar on Tuesday. “He’ll do anything for this team,” Adams said “in order for us to win.” Pulisic’s status is listed as day-to-day, his availability for Saturday uncertain. In Qatar, he hasn’t conceded a goal from the run of play, becoming the first American keeper to post two shutouts in the same World Cup in 92 years.
