JUST IN: IRAN FM SPOKESMAN BAGHAEI:
“American officials' dancing and celebration over Iran's failure to advance to the next round of the World Cup violates all accepted standards and norms of hosting.”
"Mission Accomplished," Mr. Mullin.
You also accomplished something else: proving to the world that you have no business hosting an international tournament. Your conduct has been a masterclass for how to squander the dignity that comes with being a host.
Statement Don Carlo bukan tanpa alasan.
Iran basecamp nya di Meksiko. Tiap mau main di AS, mereka cuma dikasih waktu dateng sehari sebelum match, bahkan perjalanan Tijuana ke LA yang harusnya singkat jd makan waktu 5 jam gara2 imigrasi. Abis main, langsung disuruh balik gaada recovery.
Pelatih Iran, udah nyebut Iran sebagai tim "paling tertindas" di turnamen ini. Federasinya udh komplain ke FIFA, tapi kondisinya tetep sama sampai grup stage kelar.
Belum lagi, laga terakhir mereka (vs Mesir) dijadiin "Pride Match" oleh panitia lokal Seattle, bertepatan sama perayaan LGBTQ+ tahunan kota itu. Iran dan Mesir udah protes ke FIFA dari Desember, minta acara itu dibatalin tapi ya gitulah wkwk.
Kapten Iran Mehdi Taremi ngasih statement setelah ditanya soal ini setelah laga:
"Our religion doesn't accept that, but we respect all of the LGBT people. That's their own idea. It's not about us. We are here to play football."
"It's a disaster World Cup, a disaster. Who wants to help us? If they want us to be out, then OK, let's get out."
Politik udah ikut campur terlalu jauh. Pemain Iran bawa beban mental, budaya, sampai geopolitik ke lapangan.
