What happened with Team Melli succinctly sums up the story of being Iranian: regardless of talent and work ethic, the cruelty of being structurally and systemically thwarted at every turn.

On the visa front and border anxiety, it’s destabilizing in a way that’s difficult to explain unless you’ve personally experienced it. I was navigating discriminatory Visa issues for the month of May and it was so stressful. I couldn’t shake the anxiety of the limbo, despite knowing it would be eventually solved at some point. So to imagine a team having to deal with this on the daily, and the compounding effects of being treated so differently than any other team is heartbreaking.

As talented and full of fight as this year’s team was, deep down I never expected us to go through. There were too many challenges for these athletes: a country destabilized by AND still reeling from the trauma of the IRI’s massacre in January, then subject to relentless bombing campaign by a World Cup host country, AI doctored images of the athletes trying to sow division amongst the diaspora and potential fans, never being allowed to stay overnight on American soil and properly recover, the stupidity of the VAR crimes that many top international announcers were bewildered by. The list goes on.

The scales were intentionally imbalanced. Our Team Melli had an unequal hill to climb. And yet through it all, these men played with their full hearts, despite immense pressure intended to flatten them. Seeing them cry in their post game interviews was too heartbreaking. All of my respect to Team Melli for playing with all they had despite the machinations working against them.

“I don't know why we've been so unlucky. I hope we qualify so we can bring some joy back to our people.

People of Iran, we love you so much. Please forgive us,” Ramin Rezaeian, tearfully to camera after the 1-1 draw with Egypt where the team experienced VAR disqualifying a second consequential goal in the tournament

چه سال آشغالی بود برای ایرانی بودن.
فقط دلمون شکست و حالمون گرفته شد و ضربه خوردیم. همین.

[Seth @SethSrcho]

عجب بازی بود پسر. باورم نمیشه. زمین و زمون انگار علیه تیم ملیه. دومین گل آفساید میلیمتری. دوبار خورد به دیرک دروازه، پنالتی از دست رفته. خدایا. ایرانی جماعت با کورتیزول بیش از حد پیوند خورده. همه زندگیمون استرسه.

حالا جمهوری اسلامی که معلوم الحالن هیچی، ولی پهلوی چی هام خوب حیوون ان ها. ویدیو های دعواهای تو استادیوم رو میبینم کرک و پرم میریزه. آخه الدنگ جاکش اقلا جلو بچه فحش نده اینطوری.

[Mukhtar @I_amMukhtar]

Iran is the most disadvantaged team at the World Cup. FIFA should have ensured they were treated the same as any other team.

Football is about fairness.

I’m curious where all the Trump voting Iranians are?

You spent years smearing, cursing, and harassing anyone who warned you that Trump didn’t care about Iranians.

Now your boy is swooning over Ghalibaf and the “new regime.”

Anything you want to share with the class?

بیام بگم من خیلی وقت بود زیر نظرتون داشتم. حواسم بود کله تون تو کون پهلوی بودا. حالا من نمیکنم اینکارو چون بلدم سرم تو کار خودم باشه نه تو کون همسایه.

@SGhasseminejad We all knew this would happen. You total oskol were living in some fictional world. Retire dude. Go sell ice cream or something.

[Seth @SethSrcho]

@SGhasseminejad dude. just give up. accept the L and move on.

[Junior Rodigan @JuniorRodigan]

If you're Iranian you should know what this is
and this is why supporting our Team Melli is not a choice

[Seth @SethSrcho]

حالا این که میگذره، ولی من تک تک اونایی که ترامپ و پهلوی و بی بی رو طرفداری میکردن یادم میمونه. یادم نمیره چجوری توپیدین به هرکی مخالفتون بود. واقعا شرم بهتون. واقعا. حیف اکسیژنی که دارین مصرف میکنین.

US President Donald Trump says he "never cared about regime change" in Iran.

"This is third group we’ve dealt with… most rational group yet," he told the Wall Street Journal.

@khansarinia Just fuck off.

This. This. This. This. This.

[Nazanin Nour @NazaninNour]

And when many of us tried explaining that Trump would do this, some of our fellow diaspora called us traitors with the blood of Iranians on our hands who deserve to die.
