How about you STFU and dont talk about Iran or any other Middle Eastern Country. You Bigots with your Colonial Mindset. First of all give Justice to the Afghan, Iraqi, Somali, Lybian and Jugoslavian People before you point fingers and play the Human rights activist.
RESPECT and W for the Iranian Coach
Yeah change to this western mindset, where we have hook-up culture (that the same women who wanted sexual freedom now complaints about), where women leave good men on masse, leaving kids in fatherless homes, where women made western countries to nothing but materialistic shopping malls. Where women (and men) have the most mental health issues than anywhere in the world. Let's go fo that!
Maybe you should think of doing à video on endemic racism in the US and high number of killings of black or non-whites by Police. Maybe you should also talk about the support of the US to the zionist regime that occupies and kills Palestinians since 1948.
The support of the west to troubles in Iran is poor attempt to change regime on the back of human rights. All Iranians know this.
Iran is not a perfect country but held together despite sanctions after sanctions by the west and will reform itself under the instructions of its people and Not the west and its satellites
The people of Iran have every right to protest but we don’t need British or any western journalist to question our soccer coach about political issues during soccer World Cup.
They just try divide and rule.
He should've stopped to think of the implications of providing a response that effectively erodes his credibility and integrity…
When American police kill black people for color. Then where will go humanity?
I don’t think it’s a legitimate question that the coach asked too.
I dont give a damn about womens rights in Iran.
And they don't want the monstrous el bee jee tee cue pee rubbish their either.
Thanks for giving the fact a new name "whataboutism" . But it's not gonna help the west
you missed the main point, this isnt journalism,,its about $$$$$ mutual respect wasnt afforded. What does a football coach have to do wih politics? he exposed sky in front of the world
World saw how hypocrite is Western countries 😂😂😂
Respect to this coach 🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷
BBC is bullshit
What is the point of asking a soccer coach about politics … he isn’t an expert on Iran and doesn’t have to answer those questions. This is Lazy journalism.
And why target the players if the regime really is so bad; why on earth would others who live in the west and face no consequences want to expose the players to serious punishment…. You guys are totally hypocritical. One example of this double standard can be seen with Western team captains not even being prepared to take a yellow card in support of LGBT rights but you ask Iranians to face much more serious consequences. Clowns.
He is not a reporter!!!! More like a paid agitator
And an iranian reporter just tried to agitate US players. Iran is trash
Iran u are right to walk off .
Don't sit for donkey English interview
Love from New York!
As per Westerners :- Everything which is prohibited in Islam must be made a matter of human rights… Such a brat and bully western culture. Just knock yourself out. Iran will pound on you in tomorrows' football match in Qatar
Just remember Iran, Afghanistan, China Tonga are all countries that haven't been colonized.
Boy this propaganda channel just never changes
Iranian sports personal protest against thire government
Did you ask yourself any of American and British sports personnel protest against thire governments for killing more than million iraqis by unjustified war????
Only fair that the US and England coaches now be asked about their countries violations.
I think you need to cut the portugal man some slack. Hes just a man trying to coach a soccer team and his team are caught in the middle of two governments you dont know the players families where they are if the players say something that irans state gov doesnt like will their families be arrested or murdered. You guys have no idea, you expext them to just act like american athletes and immidiately protest whatever you think is wrong when you have no idea the possible repercussions for those actions…. iran is no gold nation but im american and our government has ita own sins that we should focus on instead of other countries
What do you expect…from a slave to the Islamic Republic?
Ask the white coaches whose countries invaded Iraq
It could be worse, he could be associated with a country that watches it's children being slaughtered on a regular basis but does nothing about it? USA anyone?
Yes, Iran does have major problems but don't tell people they can't call you on your BS by trying to use what aboutism as a cancellation of US issues. The man is the coach not a Mullah you moron. I see any disagreement with you is considered not being polite, even though the question to the coach is foul play.
F Iran and the rest of the Islamic world.
Yes deflecting from YOUR CIA REGIME CHANGE revolution (that always destroys countries) you leftist moron his job is SPORTS, ENTERTAINMENT, not a political revolution you dumb soy boy. Grow up. Stop spreading your CIA narrative you f*cking braindead puppet.
How much would you pay him?
Give him a good offer.
Do you want an answer?
Pay first
Sad that this commentary will be these Iranian Athletes In Memoriam in a few weeks.
They are in Ayatollah's pocket . . Losers ! The counter terrorist US defeated them .
Good go back to Iran
I’ve never been to Iran, but I can guarantee that no women is being killed for not wearing a hijab. TYT and their fake woke garbage is just too much
I couldn't disagree with you more on your assesment, Rick Strom. You decry his "what about isms" and immediately follow it with several of your own!? What IS your point here? That the Iranian coach is a chump? Personally, from what I've observed of his team in this World Cup opening round, and a few bits of him in interviews at this opening round (including this one and his refusal to entertain that question)…. he is indeed doing more for "the good of the people" (everywhere) than the media (at large) – and you, specifically, in this piece – are. The reporter pushed. He pushed back to hold his ground. Fair play… (in a dirty game).
All these people getting their knickers in a twist probably live in the west oh the irony
All I want to see is these people playing sports
How 2 face are this western cpuntries?? In football even provoking in another thing
That's what you said how can a society improve by taking your modesty people from iran are not the one reporting the issues why amother countries are you there
English dogs
english like most for uerope are slave of big company and lobby , they are so many europeen are brain wash like me with media and our suppose leader serving the capital
I hope the world is watching as Iranian people needs help to take down the dictator Khameneyi and Islamic regime #woman_life_freedom #No2IslamicRepublic
Thanks for being their voice – Please keep an eye on this as the situation develops.
