IRAN take on USA in their final mouth-watering Group B clash TONIGHT and there is much more than pride on the line.
Late goals from Roozbeh Cheshmi and Ramin Rezaeian inspired the Iranians to a dramatic win over Wales.
And as a result, it meant Iran jumped up to second spot in the table – just a point off table-topping England.
However, USA have the opportunity to secure a qualification place with a win over the Iranians.
But both could bizarrely end up missing out if they draw and Wales beat the Three Lions by a four-goal margin.
