The Iran national football team's three matches were played on U.S. soil. However, after each match, the team was not allowed to remain in the United States and had to return to Mexico, which graciously hosted the Iranian national team with outstanding hospitality.
FIFA should exercise greater care in selecting future host nations, ensuring they are worthy hosts and committed to humanitarian principles.
We sincerely thank #Mexico for its warm and gracious hospitality.
I’m still waiting for journalists to question American players about Trump’s actions and foreign policy. You know, bombing schools and stuff like that.
Seems like political questions are only reserved for Asian, African and Arab players.
The captain of Iran’s National Team, Mehdi Taremi, calls out FIFA and the U.S.:
“This is a disaster World Cup. We can’t stay in the country and have to travel every time we play without any recovery. Now we can’t stay in Seattle and have to return to Tijuana. This is not fair.”

Inde Navarrette on loving being Mexican and the culture that comes with it:
“They should do, like, a science experiment behind why Latinos love horror. We’re obsessed, but it’s true… Why do we love this high adrenaline? I love my culture, and I love my people, and I love that I’m a part of something that is so deeply cultural”.

Summertime in Chicago is truly the place to be, the only problem is you become broke. I take one step outside my apartment when it’s nice out and am automatically down $100.
