A world cup with 48 teams, where fucking Curacao qualified. If you get invited because the president of the host country started a war with one of the participants, you cannot accept. That is shame you will never recover from.
If FIFA accepts this they can never, ever claim again they are an apolitical organization. Although they probably already can’t after the FIFA Peace (of shit) prize anyway?

If Italy goes in, then this WC is just a farce.

USA should be banned from organazing World Cup. I have read somwhere that they plan “half-time show”!!! This isn’t NFL!! Winning World Cup is much more important than some music show in half time. I guess now I know why Americans don’t understand Football.

On brand for a president who gets participation trophies to give a team that didn’t qualify for the World Cup a participation trip to the World Cup.
I would surprised and dismayed if Italy accepted such an offer. They didn’t make qualification, just like a lot of other countries, so they should not even consider such an offer. If the host country finds itself unable to fulfil their hosting duties then they should hang their heads in shame and never be selected to host again.
It would be pretty shit of FIFA not to simply put all of Iran’s games in Mexico or Canada. Why should a qualified team miss out just because one of the host countries is run by a bunch of useless cunts?

There is an easy fix. The host qualifies automatically. So just replace the US with Italy and we are done.
Luckily, Johnny Baby, like all past presidents of FIFA, is a man of integrity.
An I for an I.
TIL.
