Soccer fans are mad because they make Iran 🇮🇷 players leave
VIVA IRÁN, VIVA SU HERÓICO PUEBLO
❤ 🇲🇽 🇮🇳
The sabotage is what's on display, AmeriKKKa is on show. Well done to the America the rest of us know and love. F Trump, Israel and snidey FIFA too.
What did you inspect.
This is wrong. It's bad sportsmanship. The US should not be allowed to do this and they shouldn't have been allowed to host.
Were at war with Iran yea they need to leave after the game thats what the road team does when they play a game get on bus or plane and fo home
Shame on FIFA.
I like the support of the Iran soccer team I watched the whole game and I thank mexico is showing love to them
Ok?
Iranian here: I love my country and my culture and people, but fact is Iran is under siege and a 47-year old occupation by an authoritarian dictatorship, the Islamic Republic Guard Corp (IRGC). If you speak up for Free Palestine because you're on the side of humanity and human rights, then you should have no issues to also speak up for Free Iran. Otherwise you're a hypocrite and want to push a malicious narrative.
Thousands of athletes have run away from competitions over the decade in numerous countries , Olympics were always a big one for athletes to just disappear into the country and later try to claim to be refugees . Teams should be made to post a large bond to insure that athletes don't overstay and then they could be allowed to stay longer . Unfortunately many people have ruined it for honest athletes by abusing the host countries
Too bad for the athletes, but we can’t trust Iranians in America while we’re at war with them.
If the US isn't willing to be hospitable to the world, then please don't host a world event.
CBS never told us who sent the Iranian team back to Mexico. Terrible reporting as usual by CBS.
Good… let them leave
King Reza Pahlavi 🧡🫶🧡
As a US citizen, I'm embarrassed and upset. This is wrong. I'm just a person, but to me they are welcome in the US.
Well…bye
Its not uncommon and they crying 😂 Pro US sports teams hop on flights immediately after games and fly across the country way further distances 😂 Its not uncommon in USA at all
Safety concerns.
So what's wrong with that?
Iran has terrible leaders. You feel bad for the players unless they support the current leaders of Iran.
One of their players visa expired….they expected this… rules are rules… remember!!!!
Good the Iranian soccer team can leave and not come back. Bye bye..
Why is Iran even in the Olympics?
❤
This is why the United States shouldn’t have been hosting this tournament.
What do you expect. We are at war with them. They are lucky they got let in to play
For México it’s not about politics. You could send any team to Mexico, even the teams from those countries that usually don’t get along with it, and they would be well received. It’s called being a good host. If you agree to host an event, you have to treat everyone equally. Imagine hosting a party at your house and treating some of your guests like sh*t
Our Administration is pathetically shallow and petty
This will make a inspirational movie one day!!!!
Another bs report.
Basically their people protest against them 😂😂
They should change the upcoming Iran matches to be played in Mexico. This is a sport event where every 4 years we come together and live the soccer fever and the celebration of the wins and usually brings people together but all I see in this WC is a lot of hate and disrespect not just towards Iran players/ team but also other teams too. Stop the hate, be happy and spread the love we all have for soccer!
I have been to Al Asad Iraq… where Saddam murdered his soccer team. So being told to leave, alive, is a blessing. You all have zero understanding of real oppression.
lucky to be able to play
More than 2000 years ago, Olympics in Greece got canceled because of politics and politicians
Lmfao all you idiots do you even think a u.s team would be allowed in iran if they hosted … hell no
I hope Iran wins the cup just to embarrass Hitler…I mean Trump!
Who the hell organized this in the US? Worst country to host football.
Sad as hell America. I love it here but wtf are we doing..
Usa should be banned from traveling to every country, they should receive the same treatment they like to impose on other nations. Apply for a visa.
FiFa is trash that’s why I don’t watch soccer anymore it’s full of corruption
The American government constantly talks about sportsmanship, but in reality, they always behave in a cowardly and despicable manner.
Autocratic states like Russia and Qatar turned out to be much warm and friendlier hosts than this hate filled MAGA regime. No player or staff was turned away by those regimes. We need to really recognize what type of state the US of A has become.
Good! You can’t trust them
It’s was the Iranian government that demanded FIFA to play in Mexico, CBS do your job.
Shame on FIFA ,Shame on usa
