Iran vs. USA, FIFA World Cup Group B match, scheduled for Tuesday, November 29 at 9:00 p.m. at Al-Thumama Stadium in Doha and will be broadcast live on TVR 2.
Iran and the USA meet in a match that, apart from potentially deciding which team will advance to the Round of 16 at the final tournament in Qatar, is a real challenge for the pair.
The calculations are simple, with Iran (three points) and USA (two points) needing a win to advance (England, four points, Wales, one point, meeting at the same time), with the Asians, who they also face a draw can qualify, provided the Welsh do not win against the English.
Iran had a disastrous start, 2-6 against England, but then things got better with a 2-0 against Wales, so Carlos Queiroz’s side are in their hands for a place in the 2022 World Cup play-offs.
The USA have two draws, with Wales (1-1) and England (0-0), and Gregg Berhalter’s men have no other option to qualify but a win, any other result being the equivalent of elimination from the World Cup.
The Iran-USA match, which was expected with interest rather for geopolitical reasons, and which became decisive for reaching the 1/8 finals of the 2022 World Cup, is preceded by a loud scandal.
So, in the presentation of the game, the American federation removed the Islamic sign (the symbol of Allah) from the flag of Iran as a sign of protest against the Tehran regime, and the Iranian federation demanded from FIFA to decide on tough sanctions against the USA. .
The American gesture comes as the government in Tehran faces a protest movement sparked on September 16 by the death of Mahse Amini, a 22-year-old Iranian Kurdish woman who died after being arrested for violating Iran’s strict dress code for women (improperly wearing the hijab).
In addition, the two countries have not had diplomatic relations since 1980, after the Islamic Revolution and months after Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini’s followers, mostly students, stormed the U.S. Embassy in Tehran and kidnapped dozens of American citizens on Nov. 4, 1979.
To top it all off, a few days ago Iran and the USA recalled the World Cup in France (1998) when players from the two teams embraced at the end of the match, won by the Asians 2-1, also in the group. stage.
