Tutting a footballer for mispronouncing Iran is gauche and asinine. The followup is just really awful. Who the gently caress even asks that? Was it someone from an Iranian outlet? Because at least then I can see the (lovely) reasoning behind it.

I’m imagining it’s just picking on someone for having a Southern accent and saying eer-an instead of eye-ran.

That's a typical classic dumbass fuckhead move by US Soccer, no trollstamp.

edit- well maybe if the flag had a hijab, it would be good for lols

honestly i assumed there would be some drama with this fixture and american players being asked about the iran protests and such

i did not assume that us soccer would do some weird passive aggressive flag edit on social media as a way of kind of sort of commenting without commenting on the matter

gregg and adams dealt with it fine it seems like though

Isn’t ee-ron the correct pronunciation? eye-ran is one of those bastardized American pronunciations.

this is closest to the pronunciation I have heard from persian friends and coworkers, that or maybe “ee-rhan”

have you seen our striker options? deal.


I think the u.s. finds a goal today but i'm worried about Taremi on the counter against our slow as gently caress CBs. My guess is we run out Ferreira with the same wingers and midfield as game 1/2, but who knows what wild card gregg will do.
