By beating Australia?OT but through the first set of games I felt that the French again looked like they had the best team here.

Nope. Iran would have 4 points with a draw, since they beat Wales. USA would only be at 3 with 3 ties. If Wales beats England and USA beats Iran then it would be the 3 way tie based on GD...No a draw absolutely does a ton.
It means a draw with Iran would put them through if England beats Wales, which is a fairly likely outcome.
Moreover if you lose this game, even if you win against Iran they aren't necessarily through.
Wales beating England would open up a 3 way tie where goal differential comes into play.
But if they draw this game and then beat Iran they're through no matter what happens in the other game.
I can attest to this.Nope. Iran would have 4 points with a draw, since they beat Wales. USA would only be at 3 with 3 ties. If Wales beats England and USA beats Iran then it would be the 3 way tie based on GD...
Iran is win and you are in, 5 pts.
I can attest to this.
4 is indeed more than 3.
20 years of the browns sucking doesn't phase some people. Beating Iran and advancing will be nice.A 0-0 tie is gonna do wonders for the sport here
Drawing to England is good. Team showed up and proved why we can hang with anyone.A 0-0 tie is gonna do wonders for the sport here
Having a legit 9 like Kane would do wonders. It's definitely an area we're lacking.We’re severely limited by the absence of a legit center forward. We’ve never really had a top notch striker.
Our defending and midfield play are quite good and we’ve always had good goalkeeping but until we get a striker other teams fear in the Champions League then it will be very difficult to get anywhere in the knockout stage.

Think you're wrong on both accounts.Yeah but most people no longer care about the Browns. Same way with USMNT.
I'm not sure we have a false nine either.Having a legit 9 like Kane would do wonders. It's definitely an area we're lacking.
But, I think we can manufacture goals without a true 9. Gio and CP on the wings are each capable of doing it. Weston has been creating goals from the midfield. There are recipes to win without a true 9--and Ferreira in that role seems to link up with the runs that our big 3 generate.
I was also impressed by Haji yesterday. I know it was wide of the net because of where he was on the pitch, but the way he got his head on that ball from Weston was fantastic.
I sort of hope we see more Weah and Aaronson early on. Run the opposing defense to death with your speed and hustle guys, then let Gio attack dead legs in the second half.
I'd rather have Mbappe than both Messi and CR right now.I think if Mbappe continues his performance in this world cup that he will take the torch from messi/Ronaldo as top player. He's straight up killing it.
