FIFA World Cup 2026

[Geoff Parkstone]

So Iran have said they can't play in the WC. Trump and infantino say they are very welcome to play but now Trump is saying you better not as it won't be safe for you

And Fifa think this is acceptable?

At least Iran pulling out will avoid them having to play in the gay pride designated match in Seattle.

Seems if they do pull out FIFA is free to nominate a replacement team. Be fun of FIFA decided to nominate Israel 😮

With Infantino in charge at FIFA, would that actually be a surprise?

Its crossed my mind. Surely they wouldn't.

FIFA are a law unto themselves! Still I think the world has more pressing issues than whether Iran plays at the World Cup!!

Don't disagree but I wonder if it's the first time a country has had to withdraw because they have bombed by the host nation.

Hes also threatened to invade or overthrow both other host nations too in some form
