10:00 a.m. : Hello 20 Minutes! When you think of the boiling shock of this World Cup, it’s hard to do better than this Iran – United States on Tuesday (8 p.m.). Obviously the rivalry is not at the height of football, with only one clash in history, during the 1998 World Cup in France. On the other hand, such a poster, which can allow one of the two countries to qualify for the rest of the competition (with 3 points, Iran only needs a draw to play in the round of 16 history), clearly shifts towards geopolitics. The two countries have not had diplomatic relations since 1980, a few months after the American embassy in Tehran was taken hostage in November 1979. The Iranian Football Federation also protested on Sunday against the suppression, by the American Federation , the Allah sign of the Iranian flag. One more episode of a tumultuous relationship, while Iran is obviously the scene of a protest movement triggered since September 16 and the death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Iranian Kurd who died after her arrest by the morality police in Tehran.
See you at 7:30 p.m. to experience this electric match, with a kick-off at 8 p.m.
