Soccer: Iran will complain about the US’ travel restrictions

# Soccer: Iran plans to file an official complaint with word governing body FIFA over America’s travel restrictions on the team during the World Cup. The co-hosts denied Iran’s request to travel from their Mexican base to Los Angeles two days before Sunday’s group match against Belgium. The US informed the country the players would only be allowed one day before matches, and must leave directly afterwards. The Iranian governing body says this adversely affects their preparation.
