Iran accuses US of being racist following US victory over Iran in Football World Cup

You have to love the Iranians, never mind that they are busy shooting Iranian protesters and sending kamikaze drones to Ukraine to kill Ukraine citizens.
They are more interested in finding fault with US politics. The US soccer coach was in the firing line from Iranian press following their 1-0 loss to the US.

The Iranians are angry because their flag was improperly displayed on the World Cup website before being changed. It was incorrectly displayed in support of the protests in Iran.

Iran also supports Putin in his invasion of Ukraine. For that alone they should be banned from the World Cup or have their flag hung upside down.

Nice to know that other countries virtue signal about their petty national symbols just as much as we do

We need to call balls and strikes again - this censorship of the flag is an absolute DISGRACEFUL act in line with every totalitarian's dreams something out of a Communist secret police literally removing people from photographs or Google phone being evil literally cutting people out of pictures THIS IS EVIL. I do NOT like Islam at all but they do some things right and it is good to root for the underdog I was for IRAN in the game and admire a lot about their country they STICK IT to Israel and the USA and you have to admire that. Remember that drone that crashed and Dick Cheney urged Obama to blow it up but he didn't because Obama was pro-Iran and they reverse engineered the drone and now sell them to the highest bidder because the USA has froze all their money that is SO poetic justice. The only reason the USA hasn't invaded bombed or totally DESTROYED Iran is because of geography too many mountains the average US solider can't fight in mountains same as in Venezuela so the policy is soft imperialism amicable coercion

@Ynotisay Just waiting for that to happen in …3…2…
Iran’s soccer team lost to a better team (U.S.) it is a sports event. End of story.

I believe this happened before the game, when the US Team's captain was asked questions by an Iranian journalist, during a press briefing.

The Iranian journalist first scolded him for mispronouncing Iran (the American kid said eyeran, instead of eera~n). The kid apologized, burning him once, and then burned him again, when the Iranian journalist, obviously representing the regime, asked the US kid, how he feels, being black, playing for a racist country. Then came the burn "discrimination is everywhere, but in the US we are making progress, and that's what I'm proud of".

It's important to distinguish between the Mullahs, and the people. These are two different things.

I hope the Iran team does not get the Saddam sports' teams treatment.

@MonaMartinez86
so shooting non violent protesters is ok? treating women as second class citizens is ok?
arming a tyrant with heavy weapons is ok?
Sending individuals to their death from a rooftop because of their sexuality is ok?
Or are you just saying that to protect family still in iran?
MonaMartinez86 · 36-40, F
@Ozuye502 no it’s not ok
Ozuye502 · 36-40, M
