England's lacklustre 0-0 draw against the United States on Friday, a few hours after Iran's dramatic stoppage time victory against Wales, has left World Cup Group B heading to its conclusion with all scenarios still possible.
Many expected Gareth Southgate's team to sweep into the last 16 by following up their thrashing of Iran with a first-ever World Cup victory over the U.S. at the third attempt.
With four points from two games, England will progress if they avoid a four-goal defeat by Wales on Tuesday, a win would guarantee them top spot while they could even finish top with another draw unless Iran beat the United States by any score or the U.S. beat Iran by at least four goals.

For that to happen, Wales would need to beat England by four goals, a scenario that would send them through at England's expense, although few Welshman will be backing that option. The U.S. threatened England's rearguard seemingly every time they turned the ball over and quite often it was Maguire who snuffed out the danger with crucial tackles, headers and a calmness under pressure some of his team mates lacked.
