To the Iranian National Football Team (Team Melli):
You endured the unfair and discriminatory treatment of the host country, the U.S., yet you fought on the pitch with utmost motivation, dedication, and sportsmanship.
Though you did not advance to the next round, you captured many hearts across the world as people spoke in admiration of you.
The Iranian nation rejoiced with you and wept with you, but they are proud of each and every one of you.
You won the hearts.

Iran’s captain was asked about LGBT rights. So, why then wasn’t the U.S. team captain asked about the U.S. bombing of the girls' school in Minab, asks @fbhutto ?

🇮🇷 Beiranvand: We Only Think About Making the IRANIAN People Happy
Iran's goalkeeper Alireza Beiranvand spoke before Friday's decisive Group G clash with Egypt, calling it one of the biggest matches in the national team's history.
"Egypt has great players. All 26 players that this team brought to the World Cup are like a Mohamed Salah. We only think about the people of Iran and their happiness."
Winning for Iran is the only thing on his mind tomorrow.
TUCKER CARLSON: “Trump sincerely convinced himself that killing the Ayatollah Khamenei would collapse Iran. Intelligence agencies told him it was FALSE. The Israelis told him it was TRUE. When it turned out to be totally wrong days later, he was enraged..”
Trump got played.
No matter how hard Trump tried to villainize the Iranian team, they kept their class and now they’re celebrities🤗
nice to see their fans speaking to them too in their own language. It might seem trivial but the World Cup is very uniting ! Good luck Iran!
RE: Iran - I never thought I’d see this level of honest journalism from a mainstream media talking head like @ChrisCuomo, it’s so rare to see an American media personality actually humanizing Iranians…
We Live In A Comedy 😂
Over 3 months ago Trump insulted Iran calling it a "Nation of Terror and Hate."
Today, he calls it the "The lovely country of Iran, it's a beautiful place. Would anybody like to go there? The Islamic Republic of Iran."
Oh how tone changes after rough war
“Just run. Run! Whether 10 minutes, whether 60 minutes, whether 90 minutes. Run!”
"It doesn't matter if they see us as the weaker side—get rid of the negative thoughts and clear the aura of their stardom from your minds. Don't enter with a weak mindset, or else you won't be able to hold your heads high.. Stick to the plan and fight!"

Trump is the Don of duplicity. He marched the world’s greatest nation into a humiliating stalemate with Iran — inflicting real pain on the global economy and American families.
Now, with Americans on both sides of the aisle saying “enough,” he’s invented a fiction of victory. The world knows the truth: he capitulated. And now he’s lying to cover his defeat.
Dear Belgium,
We understand the frustration. Possession without purpose can be deeply unsettling.
But your waffles remain undefeated. And your chocolate is still world-class. And we still love Tintin. We'll give you that.
FIFA, next time please put us in the same group again.
Trump couldn’t even wait a day before he f all this up. I’m sorry but the Iranian delegation should not entertain this and just go home. Close the strait until Christmas. Show the buffoon what real pain is!
Despite the public perception, I am told by a person close to the talks that the Iranians are still in the talks,
and that the “atmosphere is cordial and constructive.”
The resilience of this @TeamMelliIran is the resilience of the nation. Treated like common criminals by the shameful fascists in Washington, still going toe to toe with the world's elite, both on and off the pitch. The lower they go, the higher Iran rises 🔥
