Political football: Iran's soccer players wear green in apparent election protest "Several players on Iran's national soccer team wore the green tape on their wrists during a World Cup qualifying match against South Korea on Wednesday, an apparent sign of solidarity with opposition leader Mir Hossain Mousavi. Protesters at home who accuse the government of rigging Iran's June 12 election in favor of hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad have been wearing green â?? the color of Mousavi's campaign â?? in a show of support for the opposition candidate. The match was televised across Iran, so the move by the players was certain to be noticed back home by the many soccer fans watching on state TV. Mousavi's Web site said seven Iranian players wore the bands in the first half, although most were forced to take them off before the second. Among those wearing the green tape was team captain Mehdi Mahdavikia â?? one of Iran's biggest sports heroes for a goal he scored to eliminate the United States during the first round of the World Cup in 1998." guardian.co.uk
