Iran’s Soccer/Football team shows their support for Mir-Hossein Mousavi / protest against rigged election

At least five Iranian football players wore green bands around their wrists or arms during a World Cup qualifying match against South Korea on Wednesday in an apparent protest against a disputed election at home, according to the Jerusalem post:

The players, including captain Mehdi Mahdavikia, wore green – the signature color of opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi – in an apparent show of support. 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 similar green wristbands.

One player, Ali Karimi, had green bands wrapped around both wrists.
