The people of Iran are teaching the west a song too many of us had forgotten | Jonathan Freedland

Iran’s football team have dared to show solidarity with those demanding basic freedoms that we take for granted You don’t have to be Welsh, Iranian or especially into football to have found good reasons to watch today’s World Cup clash of the two nations.

Leeds would have gone out of the bottom three with a game to go if they had beaten West Ham and they looked to be on track when Rodrigo gave them the lead. But Allardyce’s side failed to hold on and remain two points behind Everton after losing 3-1 at the London Stadium . Everton host Bournemouth on the final day. Leicester, who visit Newcastle on Monday night, are a point below Leeds. Continue reading... source https://oto.oto-login.com/
