From '98 to '22: A history of USA vs. IranWhen the draw for the 1998 World Cup finals placed Iran in the same group as the United States, it seemed like a powderkeg was waiting to ignite. The nations had been in a decades-long state of hostility: from the 1979 hostage crisis (which saw 52 American diplomats and citizens held captive by pro-Islamic Iranian revolutionaries in the U. S. Embassy in Tehran) to the Iran-Contra affair of the Ronald Reagan era to the Bill Clinton administration banning the exchange of goods with Iran in 1995. For Iranian-Americans, each event made it hard to keep ties with the country of their birth, or that of their relatives. Something as simple as acquiring famed hand-woven Persian rugs, clothing and food products from Iran wasn’t just difficult — it was forbidden.

The global organizing body has not commented on the tenor of questions directed toward Quieroz, Berhalter or Adams. While FIFA has tried to justify its decision to award Qatar the hosting rights for this World Cup because “for Qatar and for the Middle East in general, it’s an opportunity to present themselves to the world”, its messaging has often undercut that intention.
This game came on the heels of the Clinton administration’s sanctions, which made keeping a link to their family’s origin a frowned-upon act. In a sense, anyone whose families had come to the U. couldn’t lose with this match-up. If the USMNT won, their new communities would be thrilled. If Iran did, it would be a win for the sanctioned over the sanctioner, in addition to a win for their home country. As is its nature, a FIFA competition became a venue for encouraging global peace without doing anything concrete about it. With some strict choreography, the captains of the U.
Eighteen months later, they met again in Pasadena, California, for a friendly at the Rose Bowl, which was viewed as a further reinforcement of goodwill.

Instead, different brands of anxiety have been bubbling. First, there is the regular, sporting kind. Both teams are in contention to advance out of Group B ahead of their meeting on Tuesday; the United States will get through with a win, while a draw or victory would do the trick for Iran.

The central leadership under Khamenei has proven to be adept at shifting criticism from figures of the Western world into a rallying cry. “See what they think of you, ” the messaging often goes. “See how they ‘other’ you and look down on our nation. ” It’s a sell that worked for a portion of the estimated 86-plus million Iranians but has fallen flat over the years to significant portions of a population that, according to some studies in the last decade, skews as much as 60 per cent under the age of 30. It’s fallen flat because women’s rights, free speech and objective journalism are still extremely repressed under Khamenei — and, as internet access became more widespread, there was more readily-available evidence to Iranians that these things exist outside of their national borders. Heading into that 1998 match in the French city of Lyon, many Iranian-Americans found themselves stuck in two minds.
This is their culture. They make you lose your focus and concentration. ” Queiroz posted his reaction to social media, calling Klinsmann’s sentiments “outrageous”. “No matter how much I can respect what you did inside the pitch (as a World Cup-winning player), those remarks about Iran culture, Iran national team and my players are a disgrace to football, ” he said, before adding this later on: “And despite your outrageous remarks on BBC trying to undermine our efforts, sacrifices and skills, we promise you that we will not produce any judgments regarding your culture, roots and background and that you will always be welcome to our family.
”The third-term Iran boss has fielded several questions about Khamenei-era restrictions on women’s rights and repeatedly asked reporters why coaches like Gareth Southgate and Gregg Berhalter don’t face similar lines of questioning about their own country’s policies and actions. All of this created a tense press conference environment on Monday, in which Iranian journalists peppered Berhalter and U. captain Tyler Adams with questions about many off-field topics. Berhalter was asked to explain U. Soccer’s decision to omit the Islamic Republic symbol on social media, the presence of an American fleet in the Persian Gulf and high national inflation rates. Another writer directly asked Adams (a Black man) how it feels to represent a country with “so much discrimination against Black people? ”.
