24年后再相逢，美伊交锋这一幕上热搜

北京时间30日凌晨，在卡塔尔世界杯B组最后一轮小组赛中，普利西奇打入全场唯一进球，帮助美国队1:0战胜伊朗队，以小组第二名身份晋级16强。伊朗队结束本届世界杯之旅。

Christian Pulisic's sole goal helped the United States beat Iran 1-0 and qualified for the last 16 in the 2022 FIFA World Cup at the Al Thumama Stadium on Tuesday.

The US Soccer Federation (USSF) briefly displayed Iran’s national flag on social media without the emblem of the Islamic Republic. The Twitter account of the US men’s team displayed a banner with the squad’s matches in the group stage, with the Iranian flag only bearing its green, white and red colors. The same was seen in a post on its Facebook and Instagram accounts laying out the point totals so far in its group.

The USSF decision added yet-another political firestorm to the Middle East’s first World Cup, one organizers had hoped would be spared of off-the-field controversies.

“By posting a distorted image of the flag of the Islamic Republic of #Iran on its official account, the #US football team breached the @FIFAcom charter, for which a 10-game suspension is the appropriate penalty,” Iran state-aligned Tasnim news agency wrote on Twitter on Sunday. “Team #USA should be kicked out of the #WorldCup2022.”

United States coach Gregg Berhalter insisted his team is focused only on Tuesday's Group B showdown with Iran.

"I can only reiterate that the players and the staff knew nothing about what was being posted. Sometimes, things are out of our control," Berhalter said. "All we can do on our behalf is apologise on behalf of the players and staff, but it's not something that we were a part of... Of course, our thoughts are with the Iran people, the players and the whole country, but our focus is on this match."
