England wins Group B, United States advances after win over Iran

The Three Lions roared against rival Wales to secure top spot in Group B at the FIFA World Cup, while the United States defeated Iran to lock up the second playoff spot in the group.

England snapped a scoreless tie at half with two quick goals after the break, then added a third to win 3-0 and finish the group play with seven points on a 2-0-1 record.

The U.S. got a goal from Christian Pulisic, who then left the match injured, then held on to win 1-0 and finish with five points on a 1-0-2 record.

England will play Senegal — the second-place team in Group B — in the Round of 16. The U.S. will play The Netherlands, who won Group A.
