I'm with you. I am looking for a win. The program needs it. After not making the last world cup, advancing would be a huge boost.
On the negative side... USA doesn't score a lot of goals. Here is a general breakdown of their games this year.
13 games played.
4 wins, 3 losses, 6 draws.
Goals for: 18
Goals against: 9
16 of the goals for came in 4 games.
Average ranking of opponents in those 4 games: 83
Goals scored against opponents in the top 20 (Iran is 20): 1
Bottom line: they need to do what they are not very good at - put the ball in the net.
Fingers crossed, because a draw is no good.
