## Resource

Iran’s World Cup squad pulled off a thrilling 2-2 draw against New Zealand but were immediately whisked away from their California base—no time to recover, no warning, just a plane ticket back to Tijuana. Coach Amir Ghalenoei blasted the chaos, calling it the most oppressive World Cup experience, blaming visa nightmares, FIFA’s refusal to move games out of the U.S., and grueling travel for forcing players into cramps and substitutions. Yet the match itself was electric, fueled by a roaring Iranian diaspora in LA, with Mohebi scoring the equalizer. Now, facing Belgium and Egypt in a tight group, Iran’s fight continues—despite the odds, they’re not backing down. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
