My Take

Khodadad Azizi is, to me, a footballing national hero in the purest sense. The Iranian striker scored in the famous 1998 World Cup win over the United States in France, a result so politically charged that the victory meant far more to the nation than a single match ever should. That one goal turned him into a household name, the kind of moment a whole country replays for decades. He later moved into coaching. There's something both cruel and beautiful about football, where a single strike can ignite an entire nation and echo for a generation. He's a man people genuinely remember.
