All over the news about the Iranian team not singing their national anthem. Tough spot for them. I think being silent is a good "compromise" for the World Cup.
I do wonder if they will continue to be silent in all their remaining games.
Queiroz on Iran boos: 'Stay at home' if you can't support team
Quote:
Several members of the Iran squad have received criticism leading up to the tournament for not openly speaking out against the country's government amid nationwide protests, and players were jeered by their own fans during the Group B opener.
On Monday, all 11 players took a different stance, and decided not to sing the country's national anthem prior to kick off at the Khalifa International Stadium in a perceived show of support for protesters in Iran, a situation sparked two months ago by the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in 'morality police custody.'
