Iran's soccer players refuse to sing national anthem ahead of World Cup opening match

whether they would take a stand during the anthem in support of the anti-government protests.

Dagres said that while the team remaining silent during the Islamic Republic's national anthem"may seem very significant, many Iranians were already disappointed in the team's behavior during the past week."

In 2014 & 2018 they didn't either.

Will they now seek asylum in Europe after the cup?

glkg0223 Isn't Iran where it was reported that up to 15,000 protesters were sentenced to death? Brave lads.

Oh I thought you guys were gone. Thought you were going to leave Twitter if Trump came back on. Hypocrites. It was nice while you were gone!!

They are refusing to play football too, first half of the match they didn't appear in the court...

I thought was boycotting Twitter ?

Wow .. you clowns are back already!!
