Iran scored a winning goal in each of their 3 matches, each one was overturned by VAR. The way they’ve been treated and what they’ve had to overcome is absurd, no other team was barred to stay in the host country, no other team’s country is being bombed by the host country.
In the world of injustice, this may seem small, but in the world of international sport it’s deeply unjust.
They might think their performance was disappointing, but it was far from it. They played with heart and captured the hearts of people across the world.
@biancoresearch Might be a bit better for the game, but the bigger problem is overusing VAR. It was initially introduced to be used for clear and obvious errors, and clearly, they're using it for way more than that.
This is Tijuana 4:00 am last night. Iran national team arrived.
This is the most unfair and shameful #WarCup in history.
If any of this happened to Team USA in Iran — no recovery after matches, immediate flights to the airport, massive external pressure, or management/logistics staff denied visas — FIFA would suspend Iran instantly, cancel hosting rights, and slap on heavy fines.
But when it’s our Team Melli? Total silence and bias for the wrong side.
Shame on America.
Shame on FIFA.
Team Melli fights with dignity anyway.

The U.S. appears determined to seek revenge for its battlefield defeat on the sports field.
The Iranian national team traveled directly from Seattle Stadium in the United States to the airport and returned to Mexico. Arrived at 04:00 am.
The United States is not qualified to host international sporting events.
This has been the most unfair World Cup for Iran.
Thank you, Mexico. 🇲🇽
Will they ask Christian Pulisic or Weston Mckennie what do they think about their country inflicting a genocide in Gaza and bombing Iranian kids? Why are these type of questions always asked to Asians and Africans?
