Too much football seems to kill braincells, I recommend distancing yourself from it.

Iran's national coach rages: "Our team is the most oppressed in the entire World Cup"​

The captain of the Iranian national team, Mehdi Taremi, midfielder Mohammad Mohebi and coach, Amir Ghalenoei, lashed out strongly at FIFA after they were asked to leave Los Angeles in the United States immediately after Monday's draw against New Zealand.

According to the coach, Iran is "the most oppressed team" in the finals.

He emphasizes the importance of having time to recover:

"We've been asked to board a plane and return to our camp in Tijuana, and that's really a problem for us. They force us to return early. They are making the situation more and more difficult and creating more obstacles, but we will not let them stop us from doing our best," Ghalenoei said.

"We honestly don't know why they are sending us back. I think it's very strange. They work as others plan for us. We were supposed to arrive two nights before the game, but they didn't allow it. We were supposed to stay here tonight to recover and come back tomorrow at lunchtime."

Iran is participating in the World Cup on American soil as a high-tension conflict unfolds between the two countries in the Middle East.

"I think our team is the most oppressed in the whole World Cup. Our federation is not here, our media is not here, our management is not here," says the coach.

According to The Guardian, FIFA President Gianni Infantino stopped by Iran's dressing room after the match.

It ended 2-2.

A video from the meeting, according to the media Infantino, shows thanking the Iranian team for being there.

"I know what you're going through, I understand, but you're stronger than anything," he said.

This is a very fun and cute story.

Spanish favourites hail down: "It was a disaster. Honestly«​

Spain are among the absolute pre-favourites at the World Cup – but disappointed badly in their opening match against the debutants from Cape Verde on Monday night.

From start to finish, Spain had both games and chances - but despite the advantage, the game ended 0-0.

Thus, Cape Verde could erupt in wild jubilation over its first ever World Cup point.

The Spanish media are not exactly impressed with the national team's efforts.

"A disaster from the start," writes Marca.

"Spain has made history... negative," writes AS, who writes that the match in Atlanta will go down in World Cup history - not for Spain, but for Cape Verde's efforts.
"In many years, it will be remembered that the European champions could not beat a team from a country with almost half a million inhabitants," he says.

"It was a disaster. Honestly," Mundo writes Deportivo.

"The difference between the Spanish national team and the one from Cape Verde was huge. The goalkeeper Vozinha was a hero, and a team composed of players recruited via LinkedIn prevented the victory."

Recruited on LinkedIn:
Roberto Lopes, who plays for Irish football club Shamrock Rovers, has said that in 2019 he was contacted via LinkedIn with a request to play for Cape Verde at the World Cup.

A query he initially ignored because he thought it was spam.

"Nine months later, they wrote to me again in English and asked if I had thought about the proposal, and it was only then that I did what I should have done in the first place, and Google-translated the original message asking if I was interested in representing Cape Verde," said Lopes, whose father was born in Cape Verde. to Reuters ahead of the finals.

"It was a strange way to approach it. I was explained afterwards that they had had difficulty contacting my club, but when I saw that the opportunity was right in front of me, I was 100 percent on board from the first moment, and we immediately started to get all the necessary documentation in place.

We are talking about football- we should be allowed to curse and insult everyone on the pitch. 😤

every now and again i find myself taking football seriously and when i look back after the fact, it was always totally pointless and worthless. At the end of the day its millionaires running around a pitch chasing a ball.

Win or lose, we all go back to the exact same life we were living before the game started.
