Even though our World Cup journey is going to be cut short I’m still so proud of this team. After 52 years and all overcoming all the hardships and turmoil they showed determination and resilience like no other by even being here. They’ve brought so much hope to everyone ,I’m proud that this is my heritage and is in my blood. 🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙
Iran was ordered to leave the U.S. and return to Mexico directly after their first match of the World Cup.
The team had expected to spend the night in California, but was told after their match that everyone must immediately get on a plane for the 140-mile trip back to Tijuana, Mexico.
Coach Amir Ghalenoei says the team was ordered to leave the U.S. but did not say why or who ordered them to leave earlier than planned.
"I think our team is perhaps the most oppressed in the World Cup."

This is what soccer is about, bringing people together and forgetting our differences. Love this!
