The opener against Iran in Los Angeles — where the crowd could be 95% Iranian — promises intense pressure, while Egypt offers a potential advantage but Belgium looms as a terrifying threat. Despite the daunting draw, Nelsen believes this squad is more talented than the one he captained in 2010, spotlighting stars like Chris Wood and emerging youth. But he cautions against letting expectations or the stakes overwhelm them — focus, grit, and giving everything for 90 minutes is key. A recent 4-0 loss to Haiti only underscores the urgency.
