DOHA, Qatar—With the U.S. and Iran set to play a high-stakes match in the World Cup here on Tuesday, the U.S. Soccer Federation took to social media to make what it says is a statement of support for protesters inside Iran:
The federation’s action resulted in an Iranian soccer official calling for a FIFA investigation and disciplinary action against the Americans, just two days before a match the U.S. must win in order to advance.

Deleting a few words doesn't 'show support' 🙆♂️ It's like the bushfires in Australia 2 yrs ago, lots of folk around the world were tweeting 'thoughts and prayers' but it does absolutely nothing 😳
that will teach the Iranian regime.
That is like Iran posting an American flag with piles of shit instead of stars.
Still waiting for your punch line......'And It Worked! Iran conceded.'
Meanwhile the United States government will continue to support Saudi Arabia and and its murdering royal family 🤷🏻♂️
Sport is not fundamentally political big lie
Maybe talking the Iranians into seeking asylum would be better. 0 to 0, that's what removing a symbol will get you. Ask Iranian players how much Islamic law they believe in.
I hope Iran wins the match, I hope for that to happen.
Would it not be funny if Iran knockout USA🤣🤣🤣
Right because every time there’s a regime change in the Middle East it’s always a net positive. Just play soccer and let Iranians worry about Iranian politics
So brave. So stunning. Both stunning and brave.
Politics remained out of the spotlight in the history of the World Cup finals, until the World Cup draw in France in 1998 resulted in the most politically charged confrontation with the axis of evil in the world Iran and America
That’ll learn ‘em
Wow how brave
