>>153819426>>153819454The players and FA wanted us to do this and love us, retarded samefag
>>153819426So who will take Iran's place?
>>153819531No one. Iran's team will come here for the WC and they WILL be forced into refugee status.
Are Iran's players anti regime or are they pisslamist cucks
>>153819531Possibly Iraq
>>153819531Iraq is in the intercontinental playoffs, they defeated the UAE to get there. If Iran doesn’t make a backsie soon, FIFA can just give Iraq the direct ticket and let the UAE take their spot in the intercontinental playoffs
who will take spain's place tho?

why is the US still allowed in this tournament?
>>153819994USA and Israel have the right to preemptively defend themselves
>>153819426Allow me to be clear on this
>>153819994>>153820148They're rescuing those poor barrels of oil that are being cruelly held by despotic regimes. There are even rumours that Venezuela and Iran were going to SELL those barrels to other countries! For money! Those barrels could have been sent anywhere in the world (except America due to sanctions). It's only right that America should intervene and rescue the barrels for free.
>>153819426Well everyone is expecting them to deliver an explosive result.>>153819560Yes
>>153820148possibly the most jewish sentence ever written
>>153819531Israel due to the recommendation of Trump
Ok, this is based for a fifa president. The alternative would be banning iran, which i was 100% sure gianni argentino would do. I know trusting trump is stupid and maybe iran itself wont allow the players to leave, but he did what was within his grasp.
>>153819471>FIFA might fine them million of dollars because of itjust remove yourself from FIFA. you don't have to be in FIFA.
>>153820148kek
Iran already said they will boycott it, it's time to let us in
>>153819531Iraq is most likely candidate because they can't even get to Mexico for the playoffs because of the blocked airspace and border with Turkey (which is closest airport they can use to travel to Mexico)
>>153819695Italy
Just cancel it, in which case Argentina retains it.MESSI MESSI MESSI
>>153819531It's only fair that the place goes to Israel.
he's so patheticinstead of just brown nosing master bibi directly, he's acting that pathetically for some random orange pawnfifa really lost it's pull

>>153821158>blocked airspaceThere are planes leaving from Iraq, not all are grounded. Besides their own government could fly their own team out if it was really that hard, it isn't.
>>153820640>The alternative would be banning iranWhy would you ban the nation that was just attacked without provocation
Give Iraq the spot, would be the soulful option
>iranians dipping out and asking asylum in Australia>Trump already told them they would grant them it too>Actually we aint going anymore - iranlel this just so more guys from their football teams dont defect over or ask for asylum
The Islamic Republic will have unconditionally surrendered by then and there will be a US/Israel friendly government in place, elected by a free Iranian people, so I don't see why they wouldn't be allowed?
>>153823098I dunno. Why would you award a World Cup to Qatar? Why would you make the tournament too big for any country to host it? Why would a governing body for a sport award a global Peace Prize? The minds of FIFA executives are opaque and inscrutable.
>>153823188just two more weeks
>>153823098FIFA ironically wouldn't ban Iran for the war, but because some of the people they killed after the protest repression were professional athletes.
>>153819490Infantino invented a new plastic FIFA peace medal just to suck off trump. Absolutely would not put it past him to tell the Iranian players "go out and say you support the bombing of your own people or your football careers are over for good". Are you even aware that 4-5 of the iranian players were already banned from entering the US before the war because they were considered terrorists by Israel for having been part of some non-militant government organizations? And if Israel says "jump", America says *gag gulp gag*
>>153819748>I always naively thought the US would have contingency plans in place to never let this become a reality but here we areIsn't that what their gun rights are for?
>>153833268after what happened in minessota recently, republicans are against owning guns now and against the law
>>153823098Because it is the easier thing to do.
>>153819560Probably mixed but you can't disagree with a regime
>>153819560>>153835097I think it probably depends on where they're from. I think most people who live in Tehran probably oppose the regime, but if you go out into rural Iran, the Islamic Republic will have a lot more support. If most of the players are from big cities, they'll oppose it, but if they're from small towns or villages, they probably support it. I can't be sure, but I've always assumed it was a roughly 50/50 split across the country. Remember that the Shah was a vicious psycho nigger as well.
>>153819560I would guess where they live
>"Trump assured me that..."One of the most worthless promises ever to be made
>>153845982How much of that picture is AI-generated? The actual text of the tweet is clearly AI; what's going on?

Why did god put our oil in the muzzies desert? :/
>>153846833It might be upscaled using AI, since the image itself is huge for some reason
why don't they just give the cup to the USA?

>>153819531That place in the pool was promised to israel 2000 years ago.
Will Iran go or will they be replaced? Their state media and Iran's FA have been walking back the boycott threat made by the sports minister. Not sure if they want to be there. Handlers would need to keep players on a tight leash to not have them protest or defect. Only can call up players loyal to the regime. That's if the US allows them in. Iran diaspora will be protesting against the regime.Belgium won't do shit at WC26 so might as well play a better side like Denmark, Italy, Turkey, ... There are over 30 Uefa teams ranked above Iraq. Guess Iraq or UAE would also field a stronger team than Iran but the game will be a snoozefest.
>>153847216>Iraq or UAE would also field a stronger team than IranIran is one of the best countries in that entire region what the fuck are you smoking?
>>153847410I guess he is assuming that not every player will be willing to go, or some might want to defect and morale will be low, especially if they know people killed or if players themselves are killed that kind of rules them out also. I think playing is a bad idea. Maybe FIFA could be understanding and defer their spot for the next world cup while giving it to the next middle eastern team for this one. A swapsies. While UEFA does deserve more spots it wouldn't make much sense to give it to a UEFA team. I jokingly suggested on plebbit they should give it to Israel just to complete circus, but you know in clownworld we can't be that sure it won't happen.
>>153820148Only a matter of time before they start talking about the use of "defensive nuclear strike" or "defensive chemical attacks". Actually, they kinda have already done chemical warfare by bombing that oil installation in Teheran and effectively subjected the entire city to toxic rain.
>>153847002The apex banter is that if we all move to solar power, we don't get enough sunshine in Northern Europe so we'll still be buying solar power from sunny countries, which are literally the Middle East again.
>>153819426>Infantinothis is not a real name, right?

>>153819748You lost tranny
>>153860212>pictures of army putting up umbrellas in kuwait instead of burning oil fields
>>153823022>planes leaving from Iraq, not all are groundedAnd they've left on a plane from Iraq. Most of their players weren't even in Iraq. Now that Iran ceased their 24hr boycott of the World Cup, Iraq no longer struggled to get visas and fly to Mexico for the POs. Funny that.
>>153846833100%
Kick the badguys Iran OUT and bring the goodguys Israel IN!
>Trump assured meinfantino is not that stupid to believe trump, he's just rotten
>>153860212We wouldn't buy solar power from the Middle East. The main drawback with renewable energy at the moment is that current battery technology is inefficient, so if you produce an excess of energy from solar or wind power you can't just bank it and use it later at peak usage times. The main benefit of fossil fuels and nuclear energy at the moment is that you can just burn more fuel on demand to get a boost in energy whenever it's needed.Although a benefit of renewable energy is that you can use your own country's geography to your advantage. So Britain would be relying more on wind power rather than solar, as an example, and we wouldn't need to rely on importing a resource for energy if we invest in the infrastructure.
>>153847510Are Israel not already at the competition? I thought they were in Ireland's group? Given it's held in the US though, I can imagine them actually just giving spot to Israel anyway so they can have two chances at the group stage kek
thirdies are so fucking mad kek
