The USMNT will have a group full of grudge matches after drawing England and Iran at the 2022 World Cup

  • The USMNT has been drawn in Group B against England and Iran for the Qatar World Cup.
  • Jason Kreis' side will also face one of Scotland, Wales, or Ukraine.

The United States clinched its place at the 2022 Qatar World Cup on the final match day of CONCACAF qualifying on Thursday, bringing to an end an eight year wait to once again play in world soccer's biggest tournament.

Despite losing 2-0 to Costa Rica, Jason Kreis' side's superior goal difference was enough to see it secure the third and final automatic qualification spot behind Mexico and Canada.

"I'm extremely proud of this group," said star forward Christian Pulisic after the result. "It's a bit of a weird feeling right now because I hate to lose so much. But I'm really proud and I can't wait to go to the World Cup.

"It's definitely been a rollercoaster."

The US made it to the last-16 at both South Africa 2010 and Brazil 2014, however having been drawn in a group against England, Iran, and one of either Ukraine, Scotland, or Wales for this year's tournament, Kreis' men will have their work cut out if they want to do the same again.

Here's the run down on the US' confirmed and potential Group B opponents.
