The task is clear for the United States: beat Iran in a politcally charged World Cup match or go home.

“We have to get out of our group by all means,” U.S. captain Tyler Adams said Monday. “It would feel like a success for us when we make it out of the group and then continue on in the tournament.”

Iran coach Carlos Queiroz was queried about Sunday’s flag flap, which prompted the governing body of Iranian soccer to demand FIFA expel the U.S. from the tournament. He said he did not intend to use the controversy as motivation. Adams, who is Black and grew up in a white family, was told by a reporter from Iran’s Press TV about the pronounciation of Iran, then asked: “Are you OK to be representing a country that has so much discrimination against Black people?”

Shame on Apple for threatening to pull Twitter from its App Store!

No one thinks what’s happening in the most corrupted world cup. Portugal got 2 ‘gifts’ in 2 games. ronaldo is about to retire. He didn’t score against Uruguay tv broadcast was showing his name as scorer until probably obligated to correct, Any intere$t in retiring with a trophy?

Isn’t that their goal for every match tho? Betting only the media is making it political……

Have to make it about politics? Pathetic media.

Ronaldo claimed. T'was Fernandez

🤡

First off, you spelled politically wrong. Second, there’s nothing political about this. It’s just sports. Let it go.

What is this jingoistic claptrap?!

The country that the Biden Administration is 'not so secretly' trying to funnel money to? Why does Biden and the media (and most democrats) hate our own country? See deal with Venezuela for oil per WSJ.

USA is going to beat the hell out of them!

US soccer briefly scrubs emblem from Iran flag at World CupDOHA, Qatar (AP) — The U.S. soccer federation briefly displayed Iran's national flag on social media without the emblem of the Islamic Republic, saying the move supports protesters in Iran ahead of the two nations' World Cup match Tuesday. Americans are just looking to troll other countries. How would we feel if they left out some of our stars because they don't recognize certain states? Just kick the ball. Thank you to the US for explicitly politicizing a peaceful tournament match and thereby ensuring bad blood, incivility, and a lack of diplomatic respect ensue.
