Will you pronounce the word "Iran" differently after we beat them at the World Cup?

[bean2k21]

American soccer player Tyler Adams was criticized recently by an Iranian journalist who stated:

"First of all, you say you support the Iranian people, but you're pronouncing our country's name wrong," Javanmardi said. "Our country is named ur·aan, not eye·ran. Please, once and for all, let's get this clear."

They also questioned whether he felt good about representing a country that discriminates against African Americans (which is why they're on our soccer team, right?) Adams apologized, but he's a bit more gracious than I would have been. My response to that statement is:

1) You live in a desert
2) Your medieval period is from 600 A. D. - present
3) You worship a false God
4) Your players will probably have their feet cut off when they lose
5) It's a free country so I can pronounce Iran how I want to

USA! USA!

Please GROW UP and stop attacking America just because our soccer team makes yours look ridiculous. We can't help it we're superior at everything we do, it comes with the superpower territory.

Dear Redneck GAGer:

Please see my response below:

1) You live in a desert... Shows how much you know about that country. Google and see which country gets more snow, the US or Iran... A typical uninformed redneck

2) Your medieval period is from 600 A. D. - present... Based on YOUR standards, yes. You only know a few things in life and history and geography are definitely among them You know beer, trucks, bad teeth (most missing), and America #1 even though you don't know what America is #1 in!!! You also believe you live in the best country on the planet, yet most likely, you have not even left your state!!!

3) You worship a false God... Sorry. Will not even get into a religious discussion with you since you are anything BUT religious based on your anger towards Iranians (and most likely other cultures and races) Opposite of what your profit Jesus Christ told you to do which is love one another!

4) Your players will probably have their feet cut off when they lose... No, they will not have their feet cut off. You worry about the next WEEKLY mass-shootings in your country and hope for the best!!!

5) It's a free country so I can pronounce Iran how I want to... Free to be ignorant!

And by the way, contrary to what you may think, I am NOT from Iran

You sound like a typical person from an inferior country that God hates.

Iran is lucky to exist right now. If it weren’t for Monica Lewinsky giving President Clinton a BJ they would’ve had a complete regime change.

There was a terrorist bombing in Saudi Arabia of American barracks. Intel lead to Iran Revolutionary Guards. Clinton wanted to retaliate but the generals wanted a complete regime change.

Clinton didn’t want to go before congress asking for permission after having just lied about his relationship with Lewinsky.

I pronounce it as the Iranians do I've never heard anyone call it eye ran.

I thought it was just in the South that they pronounced it incorrectly. Did you see the first half? We knocked that goalie on his ass.

You should, as they are a country with a language, lineage and culture going back centuries.

Whereas the USA is barely an itch in the ball sack of history, and a parasite borrowing and even stealing from everywhere it can.

Hell, you even celebrate it every year as "Thanksgiving". Your forefathers stealing, raping and killing native Americans and others. While taking their food and lands to call it your own!

On the contrary, our lineage goes all the way back to a bunch of Neanderthals called the British who have nothing to do on their miserable island but point the finger at America for their crimes against humanity.

Now send in the B52s to finish the job.
