Iran’s 2-0 win over Wales was worth more than 3 points. The triumph of a team that has never surpassed the first phase of a World Cup and of a country involved in a wave of protests that has concentrated all the attention, was received with ecstasy by the players and supporters of Qatar, but also by millions of Iranians. who support far in their country. Even the security forces, highly criticized for their repressive role in the demonstrations, joined the party.
The Iranian euphoria is no wonder: with the victory against the Welsh, Carlos Queiroz’s men have a golden opportunity to make history and pass, for the first time, the group stage of the World Cup. Irony of fate: the decisive match, next Tuesday at 7:00 p.m., is against the United States, in a high-voltage match, on and off the pitch. Yet another reason for Iranian jubilation.
