Iranian state media is calling for the U.S. to be banned from competing in the 2022 World Cup over a now-deleted social media post in which the U.S. national soccer team altered an image of the Iranian flag.
In a now-deleted tweet, the U.S. Men’s national soccer team (USMNT) posted a graphic that included a doctored Iranian national flag without the Islamic Republic emblem, which represents the Islamic saying: “There is no god but God.”

*chuckle* ... what do you expect them to do? Their own soccer players have covered up the Iran flag (well, it COULD be because they were cold as Iran is saying) and others have spoken out about the crackdown in their country by protestors*.
