In Iran, Israel and the protesters are blamed for the team's defeat in the World Cup The loss to England was overshadowed by the rare protest by the Iranian national team players, who did not sing the national anthem as a sign of solidarity with the "hijab protest". Thousands of Iranians in the stands protested against the regime during the match. The conservative media associated with the Ayatollah regime reported that protesters celebrated the defeat in the streets of Tehran. She blames them, and the enemy countries, for the loss: "Iran lost 6:2 to England, Israel, Saudi Arabia and the traitors"
Iran tried today (Tuesday) to recover from yesterday's humiliation in its opening game in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. The team presented a weak game and was defeated 6:2 by the England team. The defeat was overshadowed by the rare protest of the national team's players against the regime: in a joint decision, the players expressed sympathy with the protesters in the "hijab protest", and refrained from singing the national anthem before the opening whistle. Thousands of Iranians in the stands in Doha also expressed their protest, booing during the playing of the national anthem. During the game they shouted "freedom" and made other chants that are identified with the protest wave.

It’s all about the space lasers... and I still remember when Iran used to say that the I of PEPSI stands for Israel.
Israel has nothing to do with it.
Your team just didn’t measure up this time.
Oh well!
Those Iranian soccer players not only lost but they protested against the mullahs. Doubt they will ever be seen again.
Hmm, l thought it was MAGA.
I think it was all the closeted gays on the Iranian team throwing the match in protest. 🌈🤣
No Iran, the reason the team lost 6 to 1 was because they suck!
Little/big/Satan its all one salad over there.
Like David Duke rambling.
Speaking of gays, ask Trashida what happens to them in her “palestine” or why one such man was assassinated months ago there...
Iran needs to put their big boy pants on, accept their loss, move on and shut up.
I can’t believe Saudi Arabia beat Argentina.
Iran is just as brain dead as US Democrats.
I bet all jokes Biden uttered at pardoning the Turkey was well rehearsed and written by one or a group of propandagists investing hours...
Against the background of the regime's attempts to suppress the protest at any cost, many of the Iranian fans in the stands in Qatar reacted to the defeat with mixed feelings. Some did not hide their joy and claimed that the team represented the regime - and not the Iranian people.
Is this the Babylon Bee? I love them!
It’s true. I personally scored a goal.
I was just off camera so no one saw me except the Iranians.
A1
They lost because England kicked their butts. Period. Face it, Iran ... you were outmatched, outcoached and outplayed.
Oh yeah…and global warming…
