Iranian Americans divided between protesting and supporting Iran at World Cup

Iran's World Cup match against New Zealand drew both supporters and anti-government protesters. Some Iranians said they were torn between seeing their team on football's biggest stage and anger at Tehran's crackdown on protesters, as well as at the US-led war on Iran.

FIFA had banned flags of a political nature, but some Iranians were spotted waving the pre-revolutionary flag during the match. Iran and New Zealand ended up with a 2-2 draw. #news #usnews #worldcup
