playing under the watchful eye of government minders. with reports about the iranian government, putting immense pressure on the team, the players were singing the national anthem without a great deal of enthusiasm and accompanied by booze and whistling from fans to game, picked off at the u. s. were in control after a half hour. it was timothy wire with the 1st big chance, but his header lack power and precision. 10 minutes later it was western mc kenny's perfect cross into the run of surgeon odessa who squared it to kristin pool is ej. chelsea's attacker puts the u. s. one milla head. however, while the fans were going wild pull as it was in a lot of pain, after crashing into the iranian goalkeeper, he was pulled out at half time. iran had very few chances to tie it up, but in the ninety's 2nd minute it was center back mortise up rally gum g, who barely missed the goal with this header, the game finished one nil joy for the u. s. fence. dismay for the iranians. who can still be proud of their effort in this tournament, both on and off the pitch. england. meanwhile, as the leader and group be heading into the match amps, they were up against rival whales. and england found all they needed from marcus rash burn rash, rent connected on this free kit to ensure england were up one mill early in the 2nd half and england poured it on from their rash. for it took a pass along

miss for the united states. however, had iran just scored in the last dying moments of the game they would have been through now they're in for a place knocked out very unfortunate for them. and the iranians have a lot going on at home. and it seems like not everybody in iran is sad to see the national team go. yeah, that's right. we have incredible pictures, an audio as well, actually on twitter
