I thought we were outstanding for the first 55-60 minutes

Maybe the best I've ever seen us play. Confident and positive, we were clearly the better team.

The last half hour was a little tougher to watch but you always knew it was going to be that way. They all deserve a ton of credit for hanging on under relentless pressure at the end.

My concern is the last ~30 minutes. Started 2nd half well

But seemed to stop pushing into the attack. I know Iran was playing desperately forward then but I would have tried to push for another goal.

On the other hand he was successful so I guess I shouldn't complain.
I read that was by design. He knew players were tired

and that Iran would get aggressive almost reckless, so the entire last 30 minutes (including 10 overtime) was a defensive formation.
