"United States soccer captain Tyler Adams shut down an Iranian reporter who confronted him on human rights at a press conference ahead of the highly anticipated World Cup match between Team USA and Iran on Tuesday.

While the controversy of Qatar hosting the 2022 FIFA World Cup has received most of the headlines, another one has brewed between geo-political rivals Iran and the United States, who find themselves in the same group this tournament.

Iran demanded that the United States should be kicked out of the World Cup after the Twitter account for the United States Men’s National Team posted the standings for group B and left out the Islamic Republic emblem in the Iranian flag.

The US soccer officials removed the emblem in support of protests over the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who was killed after being arrested by Iran’s morality police for wearing “inappropriate” clothing.

“We wanted to show our support for the women in Iran with our graphic for 24 hours,” the American team said in a statement to Ben Jacobs of CBS Sports."
