Disgraceful.
Not content with FIFA overturning the red card, USA pundits are now bragging that the USMNT will be aided by a "12th man" tonight in Seattle. This is against all FIFA rules and regulations.
Does their corruption and disrespect for football know no bounds????
Vancouver stands with the Iranian community in their ongoing fight for freedom and democracy.

The two Iranians mentioned below are Baháʼí — the most persecuted religious minority in the Islamic Republic of Iran.
To illustrate how bad things are for the Baháʼí in Iran: Jews are treated better by the regime than Baháʼí Iranians are.
The Baháʼís have long been persecuted by the Islamic Republic through unjust seizures of property and imprisonment, solely on the basis of their religious beliefs.
They have been banned from working in most jobs and from accessing educational opportunities.
Ayatollah Khamenei, the Supreme Leader, has issued a fatwa instructing Iranians to avoid social and economic interaction with the Baháʼí — a directive reminiscent of measures imposed by the Nazi regime in the years leading up to the Holocaust.
The regime thought that if they turned off the internet, massacred their own people, then held fake negotiations, the world would forget all about it and they would carry on as before.
Disgustingly, it's working
Do not let this happen.
Keep speaking up for the people of Iran!

El régimen iraní acaba de condenar a muerte a Amir Nasr-Azadani, futbolista de la selección de Irán, por pronunciarse a favor de las protestas por los derechos de las mujeres. Será ejecutado en la horca. El mundo del deporte debe levantar la voz y evitarlo. Sin palabras.
A #Bahai citizen was arrested in Mashhad. Sanaz Tafazoli was arrested and moved to an unknown location. The security forces searched her house and confiscated her belongings. #StopHatePropaganda#R2PforIran
How many more years of persecution? Four decades of arrests, executions, imprisonment, property confiscations. Dozens of families have been displaced after a court ruling to confiscate the properties of #Bahais in the Iranian village of Ivel. #ItsTheirLand
