As an @Athletics fan, today is a truly heartbreaking day. The A’s were the final hope for Oakland to keep a sports tradition alive, and losing them is devastating for fans and the community. The team was more than just a source of entertainment; it was a source of pride and unity

@J_Klinsmann It was one of Iran’s biggest wins ever. You could have talked about their 21 shots, Taremi’s 8 chances created, the coaching change to a 4-2-3-1 in min 75 to go for the win. Iranians are justified being frustrated that this is what you chose to focus on, misunderstanding or not.
