Go, Go USA! The US beats Iran 1-0 to move on to the round of 16 at the World Cup

The U.S. advances in the World Cup after beating Iran 1-nil Tuesday in a win-or-go-home contest. The Americans needed to win their Group B finale to move on, and they did by surviving some incredibly tense moments in second-half stoppage time and injuries to Christian Pulisic and Josh Sargent. Pulisic suffered an abdominal injury while scoring the team’s lone goal after running into the Iranian goaltender.
