The Iran football team and its supporters have taken the Green Wave protests with them to Seoul, South Korea, for today's World Cup qualifier. Multiple reports have traveling Iranian fans demonstrating against Friday's alleged election fraud (and so much more, of course) outside the national stadium.

Down on the pitch, a number of Iran players were spotted wearing green wristbands. They were reportedly forced to shed the colors during halftime.

For real, good on them - I could never understand the viewpoint of the sports being apolitical.
