Anything involving US and Iran is always a big issue because it's not going to be easy because of the age long war of attrition between both countries. So, the match in the ongoing world cup in Qatar won't be an exception. Perhaps a little recourse to history will make our readers understand more.
A brief history;
When the CIA-orchestrated the overthrow of Iran's prime minister in 1953, couple with confrontation under President Trump, a cursory look back to over more than 65 years of tricky relations between Iran and the US. It's always a case of US and British intelligence agencies orchestrate a coup to oust Iran's democratically elected Prime Minister, Mohammad Mossadeq with the secular leader had sought to nationalise Iran's oil industry.
on 16 January 1979, US-backed Shah of Iran, Mohammed Reza Pahlevi was forced to leave Iran following months of demonstrations against his rule by secular and religious opponents and weeks later, the Islamic religious leader Ayatollah Khomeini returned from exile which elicited a referendum which proclaimed the Republic of Iran Islamic country. Ever since then, it's been a war of attrition and accusation from USA of Iran sponsoring terrorist organization all over the globe and targeting US citizens and interest.
When Iran defeated US at the world cup in France 1998, it felt like the Iranians have won the world cup.
