The Iranian national team left a message calling for peace in its World Cup locker room following its first two matches of the tournament. Iran faced Belgium on Sunday in the second of its two Group G matches in Los Angeles. After the game — a scoreless draw — the players left behind a note before returning to their lodging in Mexico. “From the ancient Persia of thousands of years ago to the civilized Iran of today, the spirit of Iran remains remains alive and steadfast,” the note reads.
