The United States soccer team defeated Iran and will continue to the elimination stage of the World Cup in Qatar. The team needed a win on Tuesday to continue in the competition. The U.S. will play the Netherlands on Saturday. The Americans made up for a loss to Iran at the 1998 World Cup because of a first-half goal from Christian Pulisic. The American team did not qualify for the World Cup in 2018 but this time finished second behind England in Group B. Iran needed only a tie to continue in the competition. Pulisic was injured in a collision with the Iranian goalie just before the ball crossed the goal line. He stayed in the game after receiving medical help but did not come back after halftime. Pulisic is a member of the Chelsea team in the English Premier League, Britain’s top professional soccer group. It was his first World Cup goal.
