Iran's Presence At The World Cup Means More Than You Think

Get all the latest news, live updates & top stories on England vs Iran
CNN - Over the last few months, soccer in Iran has witnessed small acts of defiance, sparked by the death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman who died after being detained by Iran’s morality police, against the country’s regime amid widespread protests in the country. And since the Iran national team had always been seen as more representative of the Iranian people than the regime, when the FIFA World Cup Twitter account posted images of the Iranian players smiling and goofing around in a pre-tournament photoshoot, it quickly prompted criticism by some on social media. “I am so disappointed, so heartbroken by these,” Iranian-born football journalist Sina Saemian tweeted. “The lack of common sense, lack of empathy and insensitivity shown in these pictures is genuinely disheartening. The photo op is absolutely FIFA’s requirement, but the poses are not. There is a clear absence of any sense of awareness.”
