Interesting. Pulisic stays in the locker room after halftime, and has been subbed for.
Brenden Aaronson in for him.

2022 World Cup - USA team thread

- Start date
ugh, Iran nearly scores an equalizer at the 64 minute mark. USA can't give up those type of opportunities.
With the sub of Zimmerman for Weah, the USA is going to really pack things in for the rest of the game. I believe they switched alignments to 5 on the back line.
9 minutes stoppage in the USA - Iran match. This is nerve wracking. 
Yes, Yes, Yes!!!!
USA wins 1-0, finishes 2nd in Group B, and will advance to the Knockout Round to play Netherlands!!!!!

The Iran players gave their all. Real men, wonderful representatives of their country. Wow.
That’s the thing about soccer, a one goal lead is never safe, ever. I was dying.
Great win!
Pulisic - huge cajones.
Haji Wright - dude, take the ball to the freaking corner and don't shoot. Even HS players know to do that.

Tom, please don’t ban me because I posted this in the wrong thread.
we don't see practices, and not a lot of info has leaked out of the USA camp.
He was injured before the WC. Perhaps his conditioning isn't back, or perhaps he's still being impacted by the injury.
The USA only scored 2 goals in 3 group stage matches. While their offense looked a lot better today (especially in the 1st half), offense is still a concern for the USA team. And now we have to wonder about the status of Pulisic and Sargent heading into Saturday's match against the Netherlands.
Not Tom but this is a hot topic. There are “rumors” that the when Berhalter didn’t put him in the first game, he was told to lie and say he was injured. And when he didn’t, he got on Berhalters fragile bad side. I believe that came from Eric Wynalda.
the other speculation is he is actually hurt, but his playing time at Dortmund recently, suggest otherwise (he is playing for dortmund)
who knows. We won.
Completely agree…two goals in three games is not very good. Looked better at times today. Hope we can be healthy Saturday.
Berhalter haters!!!
doing well but still underachieving isn’t an accomplishment
honestly, still don’t love him but sure, so far, he did what he should have
well done to the players
We saw some rockets in the first half. We need to be better but the chances were there.
