Christian Pulisic Meets The World Cup Moment Against Iran
TimeMAR 25 2023
As is often the case on the sporting world stage, this game is about more than just soccer. Not only has the US been vocal about its opposition to the current crackdown and human rights violations in Iran, but even the Iranian people have been split about supporting this national team. No matter who wins, the world is against the Iranian regime.
The Iranian government and its governing soccer body are justifiably enraged by the treatment it's received from the US government and its national team. FIFA has clear rules about disrespecting another nation, but Western powers are allowed to get away with such behavior while Iran feels the weight of the world on its shoulders.
