A lot of people have been asking for my thoughts on the Iranian national team.
I’ve been under pressure to denounce them.
After months of watching open racism, discrimination, and hostility directed at Iranians, I can now honestly say:
I support this team more than ever.

My message to Team Melli:
Go out there and destroy every opponent in your path. Where you’re going, nobody is your friend. Not the hosts, not the media, not the fake supporters, and certainly not the teams standing across from you. Prove them all wrong.
And to those who have decided they can’t fight the Islamic Republic, so instead they target anything that resembles Iran or ordinary Iranians and inject their politics into everything they touch:
You are scum of the earth. Everything has a time and a place. This is football. This is your country’s name, flag, and national honour on the pitch in front of billions. Remember that.
