As an Iranian , this is not our national team , because most of players select by IRGC.
Blink twice if your family is being threatened to be hung from a crane if you defect
"From War to World Cup" – is about USA, right?
That Iran flag in the business is the one from dictatorship and not the current one after the revolution, the one of the people, not privileged monarchy like or subordinated to the USA.

Please notice the real picture: The Mexicans are supporting Iran team because of their own history with the United States. But the Iranians in the U.S. that are protesting against Iran team are often the children and grandchildren of the people who fleeced Iran during the Shah, and created the condition for the revolution of 1979. If anything, they should be protesting against their own families that created the revolution of 1979.
