A peace note left by Iranian players has been found in the team’s dressing room following their 0-0 draw to Belgium in Los Angeles on Monday.
The handwritten letter was found on a seat shortly after the team left the stadium, with players writing that they leave the city “with dignity”.
The message comes just days after the team’s governing body revealed it was planning to lodge a formal complaint with FIFA over the treatment of the team in relation to their travel arrangements.
“From the ancient Persia of thousands of years ago to the civilised Iran of today, the spirit of Iran remains alive and steadfast,” the note said.
There was simply no debate over the moment of the match and it is one that Iran will cherish, even more so if they are to progress to the World Cup knockout stages for the first time. Every angle of Alireza Beiranvandâs preposterous save to prevent Belgium taking the lead approaching the hour added to the miraculousness of it all. Perhaps the most ludicrous element was that Beiranvand appeared to have been eliminated from the game when the ball dropped at the feet of Maxim De Cuyper inside the six-yard box, the goal gaping. Yet, while scrambling on the turf after seesawing to his left in an attempt to intercept Kevin De Bruyneâs rolled cross, Beiranvand stuck out a strong left hand to shut the door in the face of De Cuyper, before smothering the ball.

53 min The distribution out of the back for Cape Verde has been atrocious. Hardly a second or two elapse between Vozinha collecting the ball and Uruguay taking it back.
52 min Lopes Cabral rips a shot from 25, wide by a considerable margin, then punches the air in frustration.
Should this result hold, Spain and Uruguay would be tied atop the group with four points each and virtually assured a spot in the round of 98, I mean, 32. Cape Verde and Saudi Arabia would have one point each heading into their meeting. Barring a wipeout in this half, Cape Verde would lead on goal difference, but that wouldnât come into play â a draw surely wouldnât put either team through.
Sunday is Father’s Day. Except, perhaps, for Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha.
The feel-good story of the World Cup is back on the field as Cape Verde takes on Uruguay in the second group-stage match for both teams. And Vozinha – whose name is Josimar Jose Evora Dias – will have his mother in the stands for that match; she was unable to attend Cape Verde’s stunning opening draw against Spain because she couldn’t obtain a visa.
Ana Candida Evora is there now, though – making Cape Verde’s story even better.
“I want to thank all the fans, everyone who helped in the process, for the support you gave to the team, especially to Cabo Verde,” Evora said in remarks distributed by FIFA in a video message. “We’re all rooting for Cabo Verde to play well, to shine on the pitch. The players need to have faith and everything will go well.

Mexico could choose to rest players against the Czech Republic with top spot secured
There has been a subtle change in the way Fifa is determining league tables for the 2026 World Cup – and it might have a huge impact on the final group matches.
For the first time at a World Cup, Fifa is using head-to-head records instead of group goal difference as the primary tiebreaker for teams level on points.
And the change is already being felt, with Haiti and Turkey both going out of the World Cup despite only being three points behind the team in third.

Paraguay's Miguel Almiron became the first player to be shown a red card for covering his mouth while speaking to an opponent during his side's World Cup group match against Turkey in San Francisco.
Almiron, 32, obscured his mouth with his hand while speaking to Turkey's Mert Muldur, who immediately informed an official standing next to him.
Following a check by the video assistant referee (VAR), referee Ivan Barton from El Salvador announced to the crowd that he was sending off the former Newcastle United winger.
Commentating for BBC Radio 5 Live, former Republic of Ireland striker Clinton Morrison said: "If you know the rules, you shouldn't do it. You've got to credit the referee and the VAR for making that decision.
Turkey are out from the 2026 World Cup after a 1-0 defeat against 10-player Paraguay which sees USMNT top the group.
Paraguay took the lead two minutes in as midfielder Matias Galarza netted with a powerful low strike from the edge of the box.

A promising midfielder marked for the French team, Bouaddi is a breakout sensation on his World Cup debut with Morocco.
Until last month, France-based teen footballer Ayyoub Bouaddi probably thought he would experience this year’s FIFA World Cup the way most 18-year-olds do – watching it on a TV, surrounded by friends and family, and most likely backing Les Bleus, one of the pre-tournament favourites and the team he would join in the future.
Having risen through the French youth ranks, Bouaddi was tied to the French national team programme and marked as a future talent.
But Bouaddi was no ordinary 18-year-old. He had recently become the youngest player to record 50 appearances in France’s top tier of club football – Ligue 1.
The World Cup is often the perfect stage for young players to announce themselves to the world, and no player has so far grasped that opportunity better than Morocco midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi. In the African nation’s opening game against Brazil, the 18-year-old talent embodied his team’s fearless performance against the World Cup heavyweights and spent much of the match outplaying the star-studded opposition. The Lille talent seems to be on the cusp of greatness for his national team and, to no great surprise, many of Europe’s biggest clubs are taking notice.
“As a French football fan, I'm quite disappointed to see him go for another team other than France,” noted Ronan Caroff, French Area Manager, when he discussed Bouaddi’s introduction to the World Cup on this week’s Market Values podcast. “But of course, with how stacked the French midfield is and the level that Bouaddi has shown already with Lille for the past few seasons, it makes sense that Morocco will come knocking on his door and probably attract him with more playing time early on. And so far, the bet seems to have been successful with his performances in the pre-World Cup friendlies. And then in his first game with Brazil, he was already given a lot of responsibility, and he's shown the same qualities that he has with Lille so far.”
Ayyoub Bouaddi is one of the finest teenagers in world football, and he could be moving to Arsenal this summer as the Gunners push to land the Lille youngster.
Football365 claims that Arsenal are ahead of the likes of PSG and Chelsea in the race for his signature as he continues to shine for Morocco at the World Cup.
He delivered a commanding performance during their first game of the competition against Brazil, dominating the midfield and surprising many fans with his display.
That performance has made more teams and supporters take notice of the midfielder, and Arsenal want to add him to their squad in this transfer window.
