The federation had temporarily displayed Iran's national flag on its official Twitter, Instagram and Facebook accounts without the emblem of the Islamic Republic. A now-deleted graphic of the Group B standings posted on Saturday displayed the Iranian flag only bearing its green, white and red colors.
Iran state media reported Sunday that the United States should be immediately kicked out of the tournament and suspended for 10 games for a "distorted image" of the country's flag."By posting a distorted image of the flag of the Islamic Republic of #Iran on its official account, the #US football team breached the @FIFAcom charter, for which a 10-game suspension is the appropriate penalty," Iran state-aligned Tasnim news agency wrote on Twitter on Sunday.
US Soccer's decision came on the same day the former US Men's National Team's head coach Jurgen Klinsmann said he will try to speak with Iran's manager, Carlos Queiroz, to "calm things down" after Klinsmann's comments about Iran's culture were branded "outrageous remarks." "This is not by coincidence. This is all purposely. This is just part of their culture. That's how they play it and they work the referee. You saw the bench always jumping off, always working the fourth, the linesmen and the fourth referee on the sideline, constantly in their ears. They're constantly in your face on the field.
looks like Iran needs to cope.
See as you notice that some of the world women due not have rights.thats why the USA support Iran women.
This is actually really funny Coming from a country that burns American flags in the streets of Iran daily
