It was interesting to see the cheering and support for the Iranian team yesterday. LA apparently has a very large population of Iranians, but it's interesting that many of them came fleeing the revolution so they are not necessarily the pro-government crowd. Pretty embarrassing that after the game, they couldn't stay and all had to leave to Mexico right away. Apparently players also complained for taking 5 hours to go through security prior to the game.

Yeah it's unfair. Blame the current administration for that.

Also, side note, if the U.S and Iran finish second in their groups and advance, they play each other in the Round of 32. That'd be funny lol

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.
