Protests abound inside Iran because the nationwide staff performs on the World Cup.
The final time Iran confronted the USA on the World Cup, again in 1998, the streets of Tehran erupted in celebration after Iran gained. This time round, emotions are way more difficult. Iranians are getting into a 3rd month of protests after 22-year-old Mahsa Jina Amini died in police custody in September. Since then, foreign-based rights teams say a whole bunch have been killed by safety forces and hundreds arrested.
