well cut rivals clash the usa be to round to qualify for the knockout stage. that cattle. 2022 england finished top of a group and secure the u. k. bragging rights with a 3 mill when of a whales. ah, hello, i'm darn jordan. this is al jazeera la you from dough are also coming up during the u. s. as found, leda fall right militia group. the of keepers guilty of seditious conspiracy. to keep donald trump in power. president putin is trying to what the noise winter to force ukraine is to freeze for fleet and nato allies promise to help you. crane survive, a harsh winter was russia continues its attacks across the country with well,

it was one of the most highly anticipated and politically charged much ups of the football woke up in the end. the crunch group game between the usa and iran was won by the american team at victory which secured their place in the last 16 of the tournament. the only goal came in the 1st half of the alpha mom a stadium, krista, and put us in the school at fort the us. well, they progressed to the knockout stages where they'll faced the netherlands next. victory was hailed by president joe biden. usa usa, that's a big gay man who i spoke to the come to the bars. i said you could do this, they were i, they're gonna, they did it. god love them. well let's bring in contact, wishes direct to the sports business program at washington university of st. louis . he joins us from st. louis, missouri, a patrick good to have you with us. this was a must win game for the usa against iran. it was a nail biting game right down to the final whistle, wasn't it?

but the u. s. 8. now through. what does this wind mean for the team? do you think patrick? oh, certainly a sigh of relief and i'm lucky to be on with you. i thought i was going to have a heart attack several times in the last few hours. but, you know, obviously with us and canada and mexico hosting the world cup in 2026 and having not made the 2018 edition of peoples world co, we really, it was important to move on to the knockout phase. and you see all these investments that has been made an american soccer in the last 8 years since our last trip to the world cup. so it's, it's relieving, if nothing else to see those investments payoff. yeah, well, i'm glad you didn't abba off the top. patrick one look, i mean, many experts were predicting the usa would not even make it, as you say, to the knockout stage of the world cup. so it was such a young team of players, it's been a steep learning curve for the t muffin. it well certainly has and you think back to when i played soccer in the, in the late eighty's early ninety's, just the development over the years. you know,

we've been trying to invest in the infrastructure in the sport for forever for decades. but i think what's happened in the last 10 to 15 years is you see better investment and coaching better investment in, in these youth organizations billing greater infrastructure building up towards. and now quite frankly, the media element. when i was younger, we didn't have the, the, the leisure of having, you know, the buddhist lager or the premier league on saturday and sunday mornings. now today's generation has that at their fingertips here in america. so i think that's more inspiring and gives people belief. and the investments to move forward and, and produce the kind of football that we're seeing now. yep. we'll come back to the grassroots of soc other just a little bit later patrick. but let me ask you, i mean, because we can't talk about at the u. s. in iran, without touching a little bit on the politics, it was always going to be overshadowed by the political animosity between the 2 countries. do you think it was a challenge for these young players does focus on the football giving all attention

surrounding the game? well, one of the interesting aspects about this is because it's such a young team, maybe this was a benefit as relates to simply awareness of the political tensions that have existed over the years. you know, many of these touches there's obviously still many to day. but a lot of these are going back many, many decades. they're having a younger side, perhaps they're little bit naive and, and not necessarily aware of all the things that are going on there. so maybe that was part of it. but again, whenever you're talking about usa versus or, or an they are going to be those political undertones. and so, you know, all the power to the coaching staff in the usa federation to, again, kind of help these players. she passed all of that in focus on the pitch. patrick, just a final thought you, i mean, look with, with, with basketball, american football. i saw he being the big money sports in america. how is sucka changing? they're always seeing. i mean, you touched on this a while ago, i'll be seeing more money come into the game. we see soc icons like david beckham, pa tuning into miami,

the soccer team in miami. i was the status of sucka. we could put bull in the usa lock of the chains off to this woke up it. well, i hope 2 things will happen. number one is since the north america is our hosting, the 2026 world cup and with the advancement of the american side. in to the knockout phase, i think this is going to help build momentum. but, you know, i, i think one of the other things is, as you mentioned, the team sports in this country because they take away so many great athletes and a lot of these other countries, soccer is the marquee sport. here's the other thing that i hope will bring more money to the sport of soccer going forward in this country. and that is attention spans. we see in this country that baseball has now fallen to the 3rd most popular sport in america because it's so darn slope. the one beautiful thing about the beautiful game is that there is a finite period of time. these matches are finished in an hour and 45 minutes. of course, the knockout stage could be longer with extra time, but this is attractive to advertisers and consumers. tv ratings and sports ratings

have actually slightly gone downhill. partly because of how long these things drag out as consumers have shorter attention spans the fact that soccer is a shorter time commitment that could be a real boost to the future of investing in american soccer. patrick or it's really good to get your thoughts and your dallas his on the game tonight. thank you, patrick. and we'll have a lot more action from the woke up late in the shut, including alien city. it's passage. we're now in the us, the founder, the far right out keepers group has been convicted of seditious conspiracy. over a plot to overturn ger biden's 2020 election victory. it culminated in members of the group storming capitol hill, long john or the 6 stuart road is accused of instigating an attack to block congress from certifying the election results. he denied the accusations. what should habitants who don't live now from capitol hill jobs? what more can you tell us about the spirit? what does it mean for the biden administration? then?

it's enormously significant because up to this point we've seen hundreds charged and convicted of various crimes relating to what happened on january, the sex from civil mr. minos trespass to assault them and families. but this is the 1st time and this is these, these 5 but and several others actually who strauser to begin solving next week were charged with seditious conspiracy. that is saying, no, no, this isn't just a demonstration that got out of control when people got over excited, a sort of a police weren't there. they stormed in and they tried to delay and they did delay the certification of the election. what this, what these 2 at extension sit rhodes and his deputy who worked out with this conspiracy? what that means is that underlying this was a thought out pound to prevent the peaceful transfer of power to joe biden. this wasn't simply, over. exuberance is something that hadn't been planned,

but stuart writes himself didn't even go in. so this is where the complexity of the complexity lies in wait a 2nd. the government itself admitted it didn't prove any, any specific plan to storm the capital of january the 6th. but what it did prove to these jurors is that stewart rhodes and his deputy, and others had discussed the possibility of the go. but there intend to go a violently interrupting the peaceful transfer presidential power. and even though this may have been an opportunistic moment for those who did go in, it was still based on a conspiracy that was still under way as far as your raise was concerned. so that's kind of, that's why it's an interesting one because your sedition. so this means you almost overthrow the government, certainly alms resistance to the government, to the democratic government with united states. but this is how the jury and the jury was instructed, in fact, by the judge to,

to read it in the specific case in that it wasn't so much that this was the moment where the plan was coming to fruition. but that stuart roads out is deputy, and potentially others had this plan in the mind. so when the opportunity arose, they did it. and what that, what that meant was attempting to, to, to use albums to prevents that the peaceful transfer of the us presidential power. it's such a rad challenge to be brought into court that learn to be successful in all successful successful cases. 1995 again, some islamic militants who proved to have been trying to plot bitch, the blowing up of new landmarks. so you can see the seriousness of all of this so that so it's a very ref rat charged. we bought the loan to be successfully prosecuted. we haven't got sentence. and yet he and his deputy faced up to 20 years in prison for these charges. but yeah, we'll see what happens on appeal and so on and so forth. all right, actually have times the last day from washington dc. you have thank you.
