Football ends up triumphing the day Iran's anthem played in the United States

Source Summary

Sweaty and tired, the Iranian players were doing a lap of the Los Angeles stadium pitch, applauding the fans. In the stands, thousands of American citizens of Iranian origin were cheering them on, displaying monarchist flags. That is to say, symbols prohibited in present-day Iran. But for a moment, even if only for a moment, it seemed that all Iranians could walk side by side, united. Iran's national team debuted in the World Cup with a 2-2 draw in a beautiful match against a combative New Zealand that surprised with its boldness. A day where football triumphed, with goals and spectacle, when in the previous days, as is logical, only politics was discussed. One does not always see the anthem of a state sounding in the territory of the country that has bombed them.
