Iran threatened families of national soccer team if players don't behave before match against U.S.

It’s make or break time today between the U.S. soccer team versus the Iranian team. If the U.S. ties or loses the match, the team goes home. For soccer fans, it’s a big match. For the rest of us, it’s been interesting to watch what has been going on in Qatar during the 2022 World Cup.
It wasn’t completely unexpected that Qatar has strict rules of conduct for soccer fans that Western visitors find restrictive. Islamic countries are governed according to their religious laws. So, when there was a big ruckus caused by teams wearing LGBTQ patches on their jerseys or reporters wearing gay pride t-shirts being told to remove them, no one should have been surprised. But, they were, or so they said, and the stories were written. The patches and t-shirts are to draw attention to the LGBTQ community and they did. Islamic countries are not tolerant of LGBTQ people and most people know that.
A female reporter from Argentina was robbed as she reported on-air in a crowd celebrating a win.
Budweiser thought it had a deal to sell beer during the matches and that was nixed at the last minute.
