The Comeback

[FPL_Kage @FplKage]

Add 22 points to your overall rank at the end of the season for the sterling decision to really twist the knife if you missed out on anything 😂.

Bafana after getting two men sent off and losing their opener, going into the final game bottom of the group and then finishing second:

Elon Musk says Italians should stay in Italy and the Japanese in Japan.

Then why the hell is this White European South African in North America?

[𝐍𝐞𝐤𝐮 🇮🇷 @nekounamball]

My heart breaks for the Iranian national team.

These players have endured so much, they deserved so much more.

WE TURNING THE WORLD CUP INTO AFCON LET’S GO

[John Bennett @JohnBennettBBC]

9 out of the 10 African teams have made it to the last 32 of the World Cup.

It’s been a brilliant tournament for African football.

And remember in the old 32 team World Cup format Africa only had 5 places.

A point has been proven.

[Frank ⭐⭐👆 @Thee3nthusiasts]

We were never losing that game. This game was won in the tunnel👏 What a song 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

[Scrumming Flyhalf @scrumming_ten]

A list of countries who've won back-to-back Rugby World Cups and made the last 32 of the FIFA World Cup:

1. South Africa

End of list.

🚨 Iran captain Mehdi Taremi just exposed @FIFAcom and the US:

“This is a disaster World Cup. Infantino promised to fix everything in our locker room… he did nothing. We can’t stay in Seattle — forced back to Tijuana every time. They want us out.”

Visa denials for staff. Day-before travel from Mexico. No recovery. Constant harassment because Iran refuses to bow.

This isn’t sport. It’s political sabotage by the empire using the World Cup as a weapon.

FIFA claims neutrality while Infantino plays lapdog. Iranian players still fighting with dignity.

Expose it. Stand with the players.

Incredible 👏🇨🇻🇸🇳🇨🇮🇬🇭🇲🇦🇩🇿🇪🇬🇨🇩🇿🇦

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

Iran scored a winning goal in each of their 3 matches, each one was overturned by VAR. The way they’ve been treated and what they’ve had to overcome is absurd, no other team was barred to stay in the host country, no other team’s country is being bombed by the host country.

In the world of injustice, this may seem small, but in the world of international sport it’s deeply unjust.

They might think their performance was disappointing, but it was far from it. They played with heart and captured the hearts of people across the world.

[Jack Sparrow 张梓太太 @JackSparrowCCP1]

💢Shame on FIFA for dragging politics onto the pitch.⚽️🏆👎
Three games, three disallowed goals, all ending in draws. You can't tell me this isn't rigged. FIFA has clearly politicized this #WorldCup to keep Iran from advancing.🇮🇷 That extra-time goal was CLEARLY onside. Disgraceful.

[#WAKOFA 🇬🇭 @316simsim]

If this was AFCON we’d be hearing more nonsense about the competition

[Praise @tufpraise]

All this in just 4 years.

Remember when they insisted it was impossible to build green infrastructure quickly enough

[Aaboom16🇸🇴 @aaboom16]

If this was an African countries’ tradition they would call it backwards and barbaric

[Premier League Champions @CokeSipper]

3 straight world cups missed while Cabo Verde are in the knockouts. Hold that you dirty cunt

[Craig Murray @CraigMurrayOrg]

Kudos to Jose Mourinho, Alan Shearer and many other footballing figures who have called out the outrageous and impossible VAR offside decision against Iran.

But none of them has stated the truth: it was not incompetence, it was FIFA political corruption.

[M$hayezafe @Lilshuni_]

This is just a RO32 qualification at 05:00, then you want to tell me about rugby being our national sport

[ᜰ 🇦🇷🇯🇵 @markklfc]

Thierry Henry on the VAR decision that denied Iran a last-minute winner against Egypt:

🗣️ “I genuinely feel sick for the Iranian players. They believed they had written one of the greatest moments in their country's football history, only for it to be ripped away in seconds. That's a pain no footballer should experience.”

“You cannot ask players to give everything for ninety minutes and then allow a decision like this to define their World Cup. If VAR is overturning goals of this magnitude, it has to be absolutely flawless. There is no room for doubt.”

“Look at the faces of the players, look at the supporters in the stands. Those weren't just tears over a goal—they were tears over a dream that disappeared in an instant. That's what makes this so heartbreaking.”

“This isn't just about Iran anymore. Every nation at this World Cup should be worried because if a moment like this can happen on football's biggest stage, it can happen to anyone. That's a frightening thought.”

“The officials will move on to the next game, but the Iranian players and their supporters will carry this moment for the rest of their lives. Some scars in football never truly heal.”

“If that decision was wrong, then football has failed Iran. A World Cup should be remembered for unforgettable goals and heroic performances not for a controversy that leaves millions wondering what might have been.”
