The players showed their fear and didn't sympathize with the people, so they were cursed by the Iranian people. It was the people's curse that drove the national team out of the World Cup. Football is not the priority of the Iranian people right now. Almost everyone in Iran is grieving because of the chaos and the daily killings of young people. If the voice of the Iranian people doesn't reach the world, this madness will continue.
On November 29, the Iranian national team lost to the United States by a score of 0-1. The only goal of the game was scored by midfielder Christian Pulisic.
Carlos Queiroz's team finished the World Cup 2022 with three points and placed third in Group B. It should be noted that the Portuguese specialist announced his resignation after his team's departure from the World Cup.
