In the same 24-hour span of U. Soccer altering Iran’s flag out of apparent solidarity with the people of that country, former U. and Germany manager Jurgen Klinsmann drew ire with comments implicating not just Team Melli, but the Iranian people writ large. Working as a pundit on BBC Sport’s coverage of the tournament, he was asked to comment on what host Gabby Logan characterized as Iranian “gamesmanship” and grit in their 2-0 win over Wales on Friday. “That’s their culture, that’s their way of doing it and that’s why (head coach) Carlos Queiroz, he fits really well, ” Klinsmann said. “It’s not coincidence, it’s just part of their culture.

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.

and Iran exchanged gifts and the teams intermixed together before kick-off to take a photograph in a show of solidarity. Then came an issue with what’s often a thoughtless routine before a game — the handshakes after the national anthems. “One of the first problems was that Iran were team B and the USA were team A (in the official arrangements for the game), ” Mehrdad Masoudi, who was born in Iran and was FIFA’s appointed match officer on the day, told FourFourTwo magazine in 2014. “According to FIFA regulations, team B should walk towards team A for the pre-match handshakes, but Iran’s Supreme Leader Khamenei gave express orders that the Iranian team must not walk towards the Americans. ”However, this wasn’t the only issue that Masoudi anticipated. Seven thousand of the 42, 000 match tickets had been purchased by Mujahedin Khalq, an Iraqi group funded by Saddam Hussein to destabilize and fracture the Iranian command.

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. But while government leaderships from both nations built a lingering feud that remains ever-present today, they also engaged in a battle of public perception.

“For what we Europeans have been doing for the last 3, 000 years around the world, we should be apologizing for the next 3, 000 years, ” he said, borrowing an argument previously only delivered by dictators from Third World countries, who might have been making valid points if they had not also been making things worse by funneling large amounts of their countries’ wealth into buying property in London and Paris.

Masoudi told FourFourTwo they were on the lookout for protest banners meant to rile up anti-Iranian sentiments and had advised camera operators not to show the section of the stadium in question. The French riot police were called into the ground to monitor the section for potential pitch invaders — and, given the orders to ensure the group didn’t make it into TV broadcasts of the game, many of the watching world wouldn’t have known at all. Relations between the two countries did improve in the aftermath of Iran’s 2-1 win that day, whether or not it’s fair to give the sport any credit for the better vibes. 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.

The 1989 death of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the supreme leader of the Islamic Republic, was a key turning point on this front. He was succeeded by Ali Khamenei, more of a global pragmatist who changed the nation’s actions and, therefore, perceptions throughout the outside world. 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.

They worked the referee, you saw the bench all jumping up… they’re constantly in your face on the field. 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.
