USA advanced to the next round in the World cup by beating Iran 1-0.

(USA vs Iran watch party)

a little good news in sports for team USA

One important detail from the game from NY Times:

Christian Pulisic, perhaps the Americans’ brightest star and the scorer of its only goal in a 1-0 victory, was forced from the game at halftime with an abdominal injury sustained when he crashed into Iran’s goalkeeper finishing his goal.

His status for the next round, a date with the Netherlands on Saturday, was unclear as the game ended.

But that will be a question for tomorrow. The United States, thanks to its win, now has one.
