WANA (Nov 25) – The Iranian national football team was able to get out of the pressure with an excellent win in the Qatar FIFA World Cup. The defeat with the result of 6-2 against the strong UK team had made it very difficult for the Iranian team mentally and physically. MORE

The football-loving Iranians did not expect such a defeat from the Iranian team against the British football team, although they did not hope for victory either. Most Iranians thought that the Iranian team would leave the field with two goals conceded in its first game.

 

Politically, the players of the Iranian national football team were also under pressure. Following the recent protests, a number of protesters inside and outside Iran wanted to boycott the games and considered the members of the Iranian national football team traitors for participating in the Qatar World Championships and put pressure on them not to play in numerous messages. In many cases, they were even threatened with death. The verbal and textual violence that was sent to the Iranian players during these days by rioters caused their mental condition to suffer a heavy defeat against the UK team.
