Iran's World Cup squad arrived in Tijuana, Mexico, wearing lapel pins. These pins commemorated 168 victims, mostly children, of a missile strike on a school in Minab. The team had previously honored the victims before a warmup game. The incident has drawn international criticism. Iran's World Cup journey faces visa processing delays for entry into the United States.
