Yes. A uniform piece decided by Nike and approved by team administration.
I have always rooted for the Iranian people against their religion and government. This particular team has more moral conviction than the USA team.
If I was on the US team I would have quit in protest.
Any other action is enabling the pervert squad.
Greatness and honor often requires sacrifice.
The US has a soccer team?????
Sports have become so political they are dead to me…hopefully both will lose…and us players can cover their mouths or something…
Ha ha, so mature, not! 😂 But mostly, just outrageous and funny. Good one.
Was discussing this with my son’s yesterday. These Iranian guys face a very likely death or at least torture if they loose. I’ll bet their families, are in fact, under control of the government too. My oldest hopes we drop 15 goals on ‘em. My youngest would flop to help them. I’d play my game and let the chips fall. Maybe they’d be more useful as martyrs? I suspect if you put a rifle in theirs hands, chances are pretty good they’d pull the trigger on me and mine, so there’s that.
Do they have uniforms and everything????
You make a good point. Other than that, I have no opinion on the outcome. Maybe someone on here will post the score (0-0 with a kickoff?) and then we can speculate about the ramifications?
Since you put it that way, and I think soccer sucks, and the American team sucks. I say; “Go Iran!”
Very good argument. You convinced me.
A baseball game was never played there. They bulldozed the pitcher's mound, and painted a soccer pitch.
Then they built a playground in the outfield. Shameful.
The regime will use a victory of the U.S. for propaganda purposes. A humiliatingly defeat will embarrass the regime. The worse, the better, I say. The players knew what the scorpion was before they agreed to give it a ride. If any harm befalls the team members, it will discourage others from representing Iran in any way.
If only . . .
Isn’t it something how those millionaires get kicked in the shin and they roll around on the ground like they’ve been gutted?
My wife loves this stuff but I can’t really talk if I don’t want my football vetoed.
Yeah. Gay. Pussies.
Or as Bill Shultz of RedEye once said “soccer is boring to watch, but it’s fun to do....much like a fat chick”
