NASCAR Fans Mourn Loss of Grant Wahl Post His Tragic Death at Qatar World Cup

NASCAR fans are facing a cold and long winter due to the off-season. However, there is the festive period to look forward to and also the FIFA World Cup in Qatar. But times haven?t been great there too.

The United States started off on a significant note at the soccer World Cup in Qatar. With their first match against the Welsh team, the USA strung out a decent 1-1 draw. If not for the late goal from their opponents, they could have scripted a huge win to start off their journey in the tournament.

They followed it up with a massive 0-0 draw against European giants, England. In no way were the Americans second-favorites during the match, dominating in certain parts of the game.

The last match was one with a lot of different connotations attached to it. Playing against Iran, the match came in the backdrop of certain off-field incidents that increased the heat around the game. The USA pulled off a significant 1-0 win that put them through to the next round.

With one win and two draws from their three matches, the USA had found themselves past the group stage and into the pre-quarterfinals (or Round of 16). But their fixture was against no minnows, as it pitted them against the Netherlands.

The Dutch are amongst the best teams in the world in soccer. They have been three times runners-up in and were on the hunt for their first World Cup. In a well-contested game, the USA lost 1-3.
