>According to The Athletic, if Iran were to withdraw from the World Cup due to the war, FIFA could organize a super intercontinental playoff between some of the national teams that failed to qualify. >Italy would certainly be among them, given their higher ranking.Weare going to lose another playoff; it's a humiliation ritual at this point kek
Oh shit, not again
Iran are not withdrawing.
Israel deserves that spot!
>>154181698>Heres how Italy can still make the WCare we really at that stage?
>>154183179I don't think any Italians are the ones saying that though lel
ItalyDenmark ChileCameroonNigeriaPolandKosovo
>>154183128I really hope so
>>154183213OP is an italian flag you stupid mutt
>>154183331Its an Irish flag
>>154181698Do you have a link to the (original) The Athletic article?Iran flip-flopped again and won't play in the US.https://www.reuters.com/sports/soccer/iran-awaiting-fifa-response-world-cup-venue-switch-2026-04-07/Fifa said they won't change venues and yesterday Sheinbaum also said "FIFA ultimately decided that the matches cannot be moved from their original venues”. Supposedly Iran are out but that changes from week to week.
>>154183538>Do you have a link to the (original) The Athletic article?Nope, but it was reported by italian journoshttps://www.corriere.it/sport/calcio/mondiali/26_aprile_11/italia-ripescata-ai-mondiali-al-posto-dell-iran-71829a68-2ae4-494d-a9fb-6c314a38dxlk.shtml
>according to >if>would
dementia donny started the war to get italy to the cupprove me wrong
>>154183994yeah that's a very far-fetched scenario.. thank God, imagine having to play a world cup playoff with Baldini at the wheel kek
>>154183258>Chileno, they finished bottomgive the spot to Venezuela instead
Iran will not withdraw, they have the moral high ground and if something happened to their team they would be seen as either victims or martyrs.The orange retard and infantinoANO can go and fuck themselves
>>154183994>the experts say
Should just give it to Israel so they can play at home for once
GoodMore humiliations for our corrupt football association the better
>>154185029shut the fuck up abdul
If Italy finds a miraculous loophole and manages to get into this WC they are 100% winning it, I have absolutely no doubt about, no matter how shit their team is.
>>154195074Poilievre's gonna lose again next time too bud
>>154195801just like you lost your foreskin, abdul
the only decent way to do this is to take the last 8 teams that failed to qualify, so the four losing teams from the inter-confederation playoffs and the four losing finalists of the uefa playoffs.seeded by fifa ranking, with single games held in the US with a mini-tournament format, who wins it all gets the last spot.bracket would be>italy-new caledonia>jamaica-bolivia>denmark-suriname>poland-kosovo
If Iran withdraw then why aren't we just picking the next AFC side in qualification?
>>154202219That would be the UAE. They might be able to bribe FIFA into choosing them, but if not I expect them to either hand the spot to Italy or hold another intercontinental playoff as without bribes the gulf states aren't lucrative.
>>154181698Play off between Bolivia and Jamaica
>>154183331He's saying they'll lose though
I hope Iran doesn't withdraw and the international crowd cheers them on while booing the US and Israel teams
>>154183140>Posted from Lakewood NJ
imagine italy qualifying because drumpf is bombing the country that should play instead, and then they win the WC; pretty kino
>>154195074mad turdie
>>154181698Just give it to Israel, if Iran and Hezbollah hadn't been attacking them and forcing their 20-30 year olds to join the IDF rather than engaging in sport then theyd be good enough to qualify anyway
>>154216048It'll be Euro 92 all over again.>>154216114It's so antisemitic when teams beat Israel :(
Iran vs Egypt will be a pride day match. KEK.Welcome to America.
>>154184137I think the real problem is our players are ass
