Who's going to take their place?
>>153820799IsraelTheir World Cup place was promised to them 3000 years ago
>>153820799what will Panini do about this? Aren't the stickers already out?
>>153820799I'd assume Iraq would get the qualification as they are in the interconfederation playoff and the winner of Bolivia/Suriname would qualify from there. But Nothing Ever Happens. Iran isn't gonna boycott, have you ever dated a Persian? They are the most overdramatic rhetorical people this side of schizophrenia.
>>153820825album releases next month. maybe they can change it
>>153820799The highest ranked team that didn't qualify.
>>153820832They wouldn't get visas anyway
The fairest pick would be the best ranked asian team that didn't qualify. But since we are talking about FIFA here, they gonna try to get China into the WC
>>153820823lmao
Whatever oil money shithole pays Infantino the most money.
>>153820799>'Considering that this corrupt regime has assassinated our leader..'fair point, fairly made desu.be surprised if Trump hasn't managed to piss off at least one further qualifier to the point of withdrawal before June.
>>153821588>asian teamwhy asian? They're massively overrepresented. Up to 9 teams while they hardly have 3 also-rans.
>>153822575>why asian?Because Iran is playing in the Asian federation.
>>153822617So what, afc's slot allocation isn't changed, it's a one-off wildcard not tied to any confed per fifa regulations. Highest bribe will get it.
>>153822788>afc's slot allocation isn't changedyes it is, Iran is already qualified and isn't going through the intercontinental playoffs like Iraq is
>>153823189could have tied it to the relevant confed had fifa lawyers added a couple of words to the withdrawal regs; they didn't, they gave fifa full discretiononly precedents are playing wc with fewer teams; in 1930 Uruguay invited England, who weren't even a fifa member back then, let alone from another confedbut let's say fifa go ahead with a 3 team group g (originally proposed 16 groups of 3 teams each anyway); again afc's slot allocation isn't changed; Iran simply withdrew
>>153820799FACT: If your "country" qualified for this sham World Cup then you're a slave of Israel
>>153822575>>153823698Italy still isn't qualifying
>>153823698This is what they should do treat the Iran matches as forfeits, it’s the fairest way
