The buildup to the US v Iran World Cup game focused on political tensions, but the players themselves put on a show of solidarity, with US players embracing Iranian players after the match.
After a 1-0 victory against Iran earned the US Men’s National Team a place in the World Cup knockout stages, the players insist their campaign is far from done. Having failed to qualify for the last World Cup, the tournament in Qatar is the first time since 2014 that the USMNT has reached the last 16, which comes courtesy of hard-fought draws against Wales and England before Tuesday’s win against Iran. The team is now setting its sights on loftier ambitions.
” Much of the buildup to Tuesday’s game between the US and Iran focused on the political tensions between the two nations. Iran state media called for the US to be kicked out of the tournament after US Soccer changed Iran’s flag on its social media accounts to show support for the protestors in Iran.
