Italy could replace Iran at World Cup (Trump)

[brains]

Iran have already said they won't attend.

Don't think they have (not officially anyway). They made a request for their games to be moved to Mexico, which was rejected. There have been some suggestions in their media and some comments from ministers that they should boycott it etc. But for now, their F.A. are saying that they are making arrangements to take part.

Meh. It’s an absolute farce this WC

 

[Rogue Badger]

If he gives Italy a place because he's pissed off the American Catholic community he'd best stay clear of Boston. The Plastic Paddy's never forgive.

 

[NewAdventuresInWiFi]

If Italy had any self respect they'd decline the offer.

Having said that they'll probably win it like Denmark did Euro 92.

I have zero interest in WC or any International football now, but have to comment on this. It's a disgrace, and that's from me, who was always a big fan of Italian football, and the international side back in the day .

Leverage Trump is using spot on

I’m starting to think this FIFA peace prize isn’t as prestigious as it first seemed.

 

[Dick Fitzwell]

Consequences for FIFA? Absolutely there should be, but there's no chance of that happening

They're all as corrupt as fuck

The whole thing is getting tarnished now, Russia were rightly banned from international competitions for attacking Ukraine, so why aren't the Yanks and Israel banned too?

The next pick in the Asian conference

Gattuso would spontaneously combust if it was

 

[me is back]

Makes sense, nations at war shouldn’t be included. Who is replacing the US as hosts then?

The next pick in the Asian conference

This is what it should be, the whole point of making the tournament bigger was to allow nations from smaller regions in.

Rene Meulensteen speculated FIFA wanted to replace Iraq with Italy. Iran now looking unlikely to play they’ll be pushing Italy through. Should be Oman who get the chance.

Venezuela should be in it.
Will be announced in 2 weeks time surely.

Yes 100% Oman.

Infantino is somehow worse than Sepp Blatter

And who thought that would happen? Oh yes, all of-us!

Isn’t Blatter’s suspension over soon? He could be back!

 

[Dobbler]

What the fuck has it got to do with Trump? The fact that his name is even in the discussion tells you everything you need to know about FIFA and that wet fanny Infantino. Absolutely pricks, the pair of them.

It's his world cup man didn't ye knaar?

Fixed it

 

[Nathan Gunn]

Surely if Iran don't take part, one of the Asian sides who lost a final play off game should get the spot. No logic at all for it to go to Italy
