Why are we banning Russia then? But seriously, are you good with a team representing a country that is commiting a genocide or an offensive illegal war even as they play a game?

I think it’s the phrasing “consider themselves at war” that is causing the down votes.

Until the US Congress declares a war, we're committed to a limited armed intervention. They're calling it a war. The Iranian authorities don't consider it being policed or limitedly intervened. For them, it's a war.
I agree with you, and you are technically correct which I guess is rubbing people the wrong way.

Why a nation which starterd a war should host the world cup? Fuck the US.

I don't want it here either. Don't come to Meadowlands Stadium. It would send a clear message if the final game (and any others held there) has zero attendance and zero viewers.
We're already jammed on weekends. Don't come to NJ. Don't attend the games.

I don’t know, maybe because they’re athletes and not the cause of the conflict?

The US Men can’t win a World Cup fairly, so they’ll just kneecap the other teams with immigration shit instead.
Derp, you’re so right. Proofread fail.
what’s their approach with brazil, germany, italy, france?
sheesh the diversity
The don’t think the US or the Iranian men have any real chance
Why are they coming here? They're from an enemy nation who considers themselves at war with us.
Sports should be above that. We had the Olympics in Nazi Germany.

Tribalistic small-mind detected!
Very seriously, I’d rather have them here than you.
Who started the war again?
The nation with a three-century history of military action whenever we need a resource or our corporate overlords demand a better profit margin.

What a monumentally stupid fucking comment.
Iran will win 2 games ,USA 0
I thought Iran had backed out of the World Cup
I’d love to see Iran knock out the US it could potentially happen I think if both finish their groups in second place.
Crazier things have happened.
