On the surface it may not seem political, like everything else but it is But yah who knows likely someone from that region. Who could be UAE who happens to be fighting a proxy war with Iran in Yemen lol. Maybe to really make someone drop a bomb on the World Cup just replace them with Isreal Edited March 30, 2022 by SpursFlu Obinna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will just give the spot to the next AFC team in line. May not have enough time to change the draw. The winner of the Australia v UAE playoff would go to the World Cup and the loser would play the Conmebol team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Diego Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 I can't imagine they screw with the pots/seedings, the replacement team would probably just Iran's spot as is. If Iran do get booted it would likely be after the draw anyway which would make things an even bigger nightmare if you wanted to re-jig things.

We are bound to be posting a crapload of news about the World Cup, some of which will be related to (if not directly about) the Men's National Team. For example, I'm assuming we will be doing possible opponents watch/scouting threads for all three teams we face in the first round and also the teams in the group that we'd meet when we get to the round of 16 (knock on wood), not sure it makes sense to post all of that stuff in the World Soccer forum.

Your point is well taken, but the difference here would be that the Iran action happened at a FIFA event and therefore is in their purview to punish. Similar to the reasoning behind the NFL punishing guys more severely for betting on games or taking PEDs than for brutally assaulting their wives. Not saying I agree with that thinking, but that would be their rationale. In the end I can't see FIFA doing anything about this. Obinna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadaFan123 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 FIFA needs to stop getting involved in politics. They had a strict rule about governments not getting involved in football. They clearly didn't/don't care about the politics of Qatar hosting the World Cup. The irony of FIFA banning Russia from a World Cup in Qatar is just too much. The common denominator all of this, as usual, is money. red card, Red and White and Obinna 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulling politics out of sport is like trying to remove egg from a cake. It’s already baked in. But setting aside the bad take, even in the narrowest of interpretations this is well within FIFA’s remit. Women were tear gassed and beaten for trying to attend an Iranian football game, thereby violating FIFA’s statutes against gender discrimination. FIFA has been on Iran’s case about this since at least 2019. If Iran wants to stick to its guns, maybe they should form their own global football governing body with no girls or icky politics allowed. red card, lbula17, Fresh Prince of MTL and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Iranians I know are much more worried about their current manager being ousted by their federation. Their football association sounds about as incompetent as the CSA.
