Iran out of World Cup, US senator celebrates
Iran are out of the World Cup
Your team's World Cup is over. The elimination is confirmed, and the reaction from the United States has been raw. Senator Markwayne Mullin told reporters he was "so happy" that Iran are out (1). No diplomatic filter, just blunt satisfaction.
Asia's World Cup going badly
Japan lost 2–1 to Brazil in their last-32 clash, joining Iran on the way home (2). Kaoru Mitoma, Wataru Endo, Takumi Minamino, and Takefusa Kubo could not turn it around. Asian representation is crumbling at this tournament, and your team is already watching from the sidelines.
