Iran beats England in first World Cup match. No, were certainly not talking about the match. Millions of pages and newspapers will describe it to you. Lets talk about the courage, the freedom of action that Iranian players have shown, without creating the problem - very serious in their parts - of the consequences of their act. And while Harry Kane gives up the rainbow armband for fear of a yellow card or some spanking from the federation, Iranian footballers do not sing the anthem, in solidarity with the protests over what is happening in their country. In some cases, it takes more than talent to make football history. Compassion.

Good o7
