World News

Alright, this is a strange post from me but allow me to yap for a second after all the news posts.

The game was pretty good in my opinion, I enjoyed it thoroughly and it was clear that the stadium was heavily favoring Iran, at least from the broadcast that's how it looked. The diaspora really showed up regardless of politics and largely supported the team, their cheers were deafening every time Iran made a play.

Iran's defense could have been better, but each early goal of NZ was met with a fantastic counter play by Iran. They managed to get three goals, but one was annulled for being off sides, so the game ended in a tie.

Overll a good game I have to say, and I hope that Iran gets the chance to kick some Belgian ass eventually (apologies to the Belgian comrade I know frequents here).
