giving the world cup to the usa was a stupid decision.
this tournament was supposed to bring the world together. instead we’re talking about shootings, visa issues, travel restrictions and whether fans from certain countries will even be able to attend
*Russia banned from football for attacking Ukraine*
*USA, host of the World Cup, bombs Iran for over a month, kills its Supreme Leader and refuses to let the Iranian team stay even one night in the country*
FIFA President:
No country truly benefits from war with Iran—risks include oil shocks, escalation, and chaos for all.
Israel gains most strategically by weakening Iran's nuclear program, missiles, and proxies (per RAND/Foreign Affairs analyses of 2025 conflict). Gulf states face retaliation risks and fear Israeli hegemony. Russia/China see influence opportunities but not net wins.
Balanced view: short-term shifts favor Iran's rivals, long-term costs everyone.
Every time England is in a comfortable situation, someone plays a stupid shot and puts the team in trouble. Such a waste of an opportunity. Harry Brook is letting the Aussies walk right through the defense now… #ashes25
