A lot of people around the world are looking down on Iran right now, after they fined and punish citizens that were involved in a soccer game. The game was the men .vs. the women and it’s not right in this part of the world for men and women unrelated to play in anything together, such as a soccer game. The men’s team did beat the women 7 to 0 in this historic game. The last time something like this happen was back in 1979, so it was a very historic day indeed; to see the women of Iran playing soccer with the men of Iran.

Everyone associated with this game is facing severe punishment charges and the only thing they are guilty of is playing soccer. The game was first denied to public officials in Iran, but clips of the game were being filmed on cell phones that later got turned in. I find this Islamic belief in men and women hard to believe and could never imagine anyone getting in trouble for playing a soccer game. Hopefully support inside the borders of Iran will stick up for these people playing soccer and these harsh sentences can be avoided or reduced. This “Forbidden Soccer Match” is causing no harm and other Nations need to take notice of this too and apply any pressures they can on the Iran officials who are seeking punishment for just playing a game of soccer. Don’t look for Iran’s men soccer team to get any cheers from fans when they leave the borders of Iran to play in other soccer matches in the region and in the Olympics.
