Hopefully the women won't face repercussions when the tournament is over and they're home.
Hey, so who's going to win this thing? I don't follow it, so have no clue who to root for.
They won't, there are to many. This movement was started before the Worldcup and they can't arrest all women!
Rouhani himself was pictured watching the game last week in a Football jersey, so he "sortoff" encouraged this behavior. In the end National pride is a very valuable thing.

That's good. Iran was such a progressive, Western culture type country back in the day. I feel sorry for those trapped there under the theocracy.
I've read some Dutch articles about this and a live report from a highly regarded Dutch/Iranianam journalist. This is a rather big step for Iran and it's amazing that sports can achieve something like this!
Source regrettably is CNN as there are few english reports on this subject.
