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.

VAR fouled Vini but Messi gets away with red cards.
