“Most teams travel with around 120 people,” Mullin said. “That’s their support staff, doctors, coaches, everybody else that comes along with them and their delegation.

“These games that Iran plays unfortunately makes them an adversary that you can’t trust,” Mullin added.
Iran are currently second in the Group G table after drawing their World Cup opener against New Zealand 2-2. They are set to play Belgium at 3:00 PM ET in Los Angeles. A win or draw against Belgium should place Iran as one of the Group G favorites to advance to the knockout rounds.
