It’s been only four months since that? sigh

Trying to force Iran out of the World Cup is insanity on it’s own, but trying to force Italy in is another insanity on its own. Should Iran be unable to compete for whatever reason, their spot should probably go to Bolivia or Jamaica, who were defeated in the final round of the intercontinental playoffs, or maybe to the United Arab Emirates as the best team from their confederation that didn’t qualify.
Iran wasnt forced out, it has announced it is boycotting the games.
The president of CONI (Italian National Olympic Committee) said: “I would be offended. You have to earn the right to take part”
The minister for sport said: “It’s not appropriate. You prove yourself on the pitch”
Fuck no please, missing world cups is the best thing that’s happened in sports in recent years. Everything’s better, people do other things, minor sports get a boost, nobody’s moody because we get eliminated at some point…
