US removes Allah symbol from Iranian flag / World Cup 2022 / Gr B / Iran / United States / SOFOOT.com

An explosive game.

While the Iranians and the Americans will compete for a potential place in the round of 16 of the World Cup on Tuesday at 8 p.m., Team USA has already kicked off the nuclearico on its social networks. In an infographic on the group’s ranking published on its Instagram account, the American federation simply removed part of the Iranian flag, namely the stylized inscription in the center of the word “Allah”.

Inevitably, the Iranian federation reacted: “The Iranian Football Federation has sent an email to FIFA demanding that it sends a serious warning to the American Federationsaid the official Irna agency. In an unprofessional act, the Instagram page of the American Football Federation removed the Allah symbol from the Iranian flag” . The US federation justified this choice by explaining that it wanted “show solidarity with women in Iran” .

It’s true that a twitter post changes everything.
