Against Wales, the players sang. But at that match, Iran's domestic troubles began to play out in a more contentious way, among Iranian fans. The players' on-field euphoria after beating Wales 2-nil shared the spotlight with \u003ca href=\"https://www.espn.com/soccer/ir-iran/story/4813286/iran-supporters-confront-protesters-before-wc-game-vs-wales\">ugly confrontations\u003c/a> between fans supporting the protest movement back home, and fans supporting the Iranian government that's been \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/14/world/middleeast/iran-protests-children.html\">cracking down\u003c/a> on protesters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the flashpoints during those confrontations was over flags. Some of the protest movement supporters waved, or tried to wave, pre-revolution flags of Iran. Government supporters, with help from Qatari security, confiscated those flags, reportedly ripping some away, and waved flags of the current national Islamic Republic of Iran.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The controversy over flags became even more pointed when the U.S. entered the fray.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Be the Change ignites a firestorm\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In the lead-up to this World Cup, the U.S. Soccer Federation talked frequently about a mission statement it created in the aftermath of the police killing of George Floyd — a statement, \u003ca href=\"https://www.ussoccer.com/be-the-change\">Be the Change\u003c/a>, that promoted an awareness and dedication to speak out on social injustices in the U.S. and around the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This past weekend, U.S. Soccer spoke out. And ignited a \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2022/11/27/1139304827/usa-change-iran-flag-to-remove-islamic-republic-emblem-before-world-cup-clash\">political firestorm\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea was to post on social media images of Iran's flag scrubbed of its Islamic emblem and language saying \"God is great.\" It was the U.S. federation's way to show \"support for the women in Iran fighting for basic human rights.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The action drew support, but also anger and calls for the U.S. team, which had no prior knowledge of the federation's plan, to be \u003ca href=\"https://www.tasnimnews.com/en/news/2022/11/27/2812899/iran-to-file-complaint-to-fifa-ethics-committee-against-us-soccer-team\">kicked out\u003c/a> of the World Cup.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The depictions of the doctored flags were removed from social media and the normal Iranian flag was restored. The federation said the removal wasn't because of pressure, but rather because \"we wanted to show our support for the women in Iran with our graphic for 24 hours.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They may have wanted the show of support to be short-lived, but with tensions already high, the controversy followed both teams to Monday's pre-match press conferences.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Trying to steer toward soccer\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Speaking to reporters on Monday, Berhalter willingly answered questions about football and Tuesday's match, and dutifully answered questions about the flag flap — often from openly hostile members of the Iranian media contingent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though he apologized on behalf of the players and team, Berhalter said several times that he and the team had no advance warning or involvement in the federation's plan to doctor the Iranian flag.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We had no idea about what U.S. Soccer put out,\" Berhalter said, adding, \"of course our thoughts are with the Iranian people, the whole country, the whole team, everyone. But our focus is on this match.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, questions came, going beyond flags.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the more contentious moments came when an Iranian journalist scolded U.S. team captain Tyler Adams for incorrectly saying \"eye-ran\" rather than \"ih-rahn.\" The 23-year old, who's Black, apologized for the mispronunciation and then thoughtfully answered a question about whether he was \"OK to be representing [the U.S.], which has so much discrimination against Black people?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's discrimination everywhere you go,\" said Adams, whose mother is white and who grew up in a white family. \"So I had a little bit of different cultures and I was very easily able to assimilate in different cultures. You know not everyone has that ease and the ability to do that. And obviously it takes longer to understand. And through education, I think it's super important. Like, you just educated me now in the pronunciation of your country. So, yeah, it's a process.

Against Wales, the players sang. But at that match, Iran's domestic troubles began to play out in a more contentious way, among Iranian fans. The players' on-field euphoria after beating Wales 2-nil shared the spotlight with \u003ca href=\"https://www.espn.com/soccer/ir-iran/story/4813286/iran-supporters-confront-protesters-before-wc-game-vs-wales\">ugly confrontations\u003c/a> between fans supporting the protest movement back home, and fans supporting the Iranian government that's been \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/14/world/middleeast/iran-protests-children.html\">cracking down\u003c/a> on protesters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the flashpoints during those confrontations was over flags. Some of the protest movement supporters waved, or tried to wave, pre-revolution flags of Iran.

According to the club, the team will have between 24 and 30 players on the roster, who will come from a combination of open tryouts and recruitment.

Those are life lessons that can be challenging to learn, but they're very easy to learn through sports.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back at the Roots game, Edna Brewer soccer player Monrovia Prinz says she’s happy to hear about Oakland Soul, but also doesn’t mince words about it being long overdue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel like they should've done that first before the men's team, because that's what always happens, is that the men get what they want first,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearby, her teammate, Rachel Sanchez, is closely tracking the ball on the field. “There's not many teams for women and they don't get as much attention as men,” she said. “But now we're gaining our spotlight to show them the other side of the world.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland Soul will host an \u003ca href=\"https://www.eventbrite.com/e/oakland-roots-sc-invites-you-to-join-us-for-the-launch-of-oakland-soul-tickets-337415868947\">official launch party\u003c/a> for the team at The Loom in Oakland on June 23.

Throughout the tournament, the U.S. brushed aside criticism, complaints of arrogance and calls for players to tone down their goal celebrations. All the team did was win. All seven World Cup games, in fact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the first half, the U.S. created more chances than the Netherlands. The Americans attacked and attacked but the Dutch defense and, particularly, the goalkeeping of Sari van Veenendaal who blocked four shots, kept the U.S. from scoring for the first time in an opening half this tournament.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sell-out crowd at Stade de Lyon in Lyon, France, decked out in red, white and blue ... and orange, cheered and cheered and sweated it out with nervous fans watching around the world. Before the final, neither team had trailed or lost a game in this tournament.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both squads had each only permitted a total of three goals. The Dutch got better as the tournament progressed — keeping their opponents from scoring in each of the knockout games before the final.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. made one change at halftime, replacing Kelley O'Hara with Ali Krieger. O'Hara knocked heads with Lieke Martens late in the first half. The collisions continued in the second half. Becky Sauerbrunn was knocked to the turf, blood trickling down her face.
