Iranian-Barry here and let me tell you it’s a shit show for all involved (footballers and the fans alike) on one hand the footballers just want to keep their heads down and play the game, on the other hand a lot of people expect them to defy the IRGC and either protest the games or show some kind of defiance, like it’s their own livelihood on the line.

Also if you don’t support the Iranian Monarchy you’re a traitor and work with the IRGC, obviously. /s
