Trying to force Iran out of the World Cup is insanity on it’s own, but trying to force Italy in is another insanity on its own. Should Iran be unable to compete for whatever reason, their spot should probably go to Bolivia or Jamaica, who were defeated in the final round of the intercontinental playoffs, or maybe to the United Arab Emirates as the best team from their confederation that didn’t qualify.
Fuck no please, missing world cups is the best thing that’s happened in sports in recent years. Everything’s better, people do other things, minor sports get a boost, nobody’s moody because we get eliminated at some point…
We should just move the host from the US to Italy. That way they would qualify automatically.
Every team should boycott games in the US. Reports are showing the whole region is seeing muted international hotel bookings and cancelations of game tickets. Don’t be surprised if world cup games in America have empty seats. What an embarrassment.
I guess their flags are close enough.
And they start with the same letter

He can fuck this garbage of an event up just as much as he wants. Who is actually going to watch this shit anyways? The games are going to be in the middle of the night because they wanna sell the event for the american market, not for the Europeans.
Who is actually going to watch this shit anyways?
Hopefully no one, but wouldn’t be the first time sports fans disappoint me. People want to see the ball bounce, people will watch the ball bounce.
I mean, I am a football fan, but no way am I going to watch this garbage, when Mafifa decides to fuck us with the time difference, and give trump a peace medal. Fuck that shit.
I bet when FIFA awarded Trump the FIFA Peace Prize, they didn’t expect that four months later, he’d be taking the World Cup balls-deep into the Iran conflict.
It’s been only four months since that? sigh
And i still have trouble accepting that story as real. And not another onion headline….
