Iranian players have to arrive and leave on the same day.

Well that sucks. Hopefully they can train in a nearby sensible country and get a good flight.

They moved their base to Northern Mexico, so the game against NZ will be a short hop away. 
I don't know about their subsequent matches.

And every time there's a game in the USA they have to go through immigration. What a pain. What a stupid thing to do.

Allowing Trumpian USA to have anything to do with a global sporting event (THE global sporting event) shows a lack of common sense and morals.
The stupidest move yet by an already stupid FIFA full of corruption and very much as bad as the Orange Buffoon.

Expect USA to make a "surprise" run to the semi finals while Trump, Infantino and ICE stand outside the VAR control rooms.

In other words, BAU for the Trump Administration.

A quick Google search says USA played Iran in 2022, with USA defeating Iran 1-0.

 

Google suggests it's possible that USA and Iran could play each other again this time.

 

I wonder what might happen at the border crossing ahead of that game should it happen 🤔

The orange buffoon has no patience, so he launches yet another strike on Iran:

In return, the Strait of Hormuz is now fully closed (again) 🙄

 

What is the goal he's trying to achieve here, sorry? Can someone please fill me in? I've lost track of how many times an agreement is "just a few days away".

Trump got booed loudly at a Knicks game. I guess they really hate him in New York (ironically, his hometown!).

 



El Presidente Trump fell asleep during a game, or maybe he was just resting his eyes while thinking up more monikers like "sleepy" Joe Biden.

Knick Owner said "I was with him the whole time. We were talking the whole time. He was very much awake, he was very much engaged."

When Donald "the Grinch got nothing on me" Trump attended at Madison Square Garden, the NYPD and U.S. Secret Service ordered the shutdown of the large outdoor watch‑party screens.

When one journalist asked about "the reception you got from the Knicks fans tonight," Trump said he thought it was "great," and "amazing, actually," despite being booed by many in the room.

"You mean when they had the camera on me?" Trump asked as he fumbled over his words. "I thought it was very good, yeah. It was certainly amazing."

He clarified his stance, adding that "it was mostly cheers" celebrating his presence. "It was loud and it was very enthusiastic," Trump observed.

Trump "talking the whole time" during game, and definitely not snoozing.
