IRAN would have been more beautiful than UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qater all together If They invested in good infrastructure but instead they focus on ballistic Bombs that Isreal can easily waste mid air
So Iran has no rights to bombs but Israel and USA deserve the rights to bombs? And to you, every country should bow down to USA to determine it's destiny?
Well, you are neither Iranian not a leader of Iran. Iran will take it's best political stance best suited for them and are ready to defend themselves if need be. And it is their right to do so, whether some unknown Nigerian deems it right or not.

Iran nor try at all. Dey killed your supreme leader, killed all your top generals, humiliated and decimated you, yet you still fighting for visa to WC as if your life depends on it, which you will eventually exit in group stage.
Should have boycotted the WC totally
You don't get. Even when politics devides the world, sports should unite it. FIFA is a corrupt organization, else Russia should have been part of this competition.

Tell iran to host world cup, they should invest in sports and not in nukes and missiles!
Do you have a mirror at home?

Do you know that the only country that invest trillions of dollars into weapons, nukes and missiles is actually the US?

Before you make ignorant statements, make sure you know how to read and research.

The US defense budget is more than 30 other countries defense budgets, yet it's Iran that is the problem.

One thing though, with all the Trillions, na still US run!

This is exposing US inhumane treatment against Iran. Which the world will see and it'll be on record.

FIFA was caged in this tournament by Trump's policy.

So investing in nukes and missiles is for self defense by supplying Hamas, Hezbollah, etc nukes and missiles to defend themselves against the occurrence of October 7th right?

USA is being careful as a reasonable country not to allow these terrorists use World Cup tournament to penetrate into her soils, nothing political interference therein!
The problem with you Nigerians is that you don't read!

Do you know what brought about those resistance groups?

Read, man. Read!

Stop feeding only on western propaganda. It's not good for your health.

Even the ones that got full entry are being subjected to humiliations!

Uruguayan team was subjected to terrible humiliation with sniffer dogs.

Senegal was welcomed with a search RIGHT ON THE TARMAC.

FIFA really lost it.

Did anyone observe that official slogan of FIFA are not being displayed in this tournament? I mean the “SAY NO TO RACISM” and “FAIR PLAY”
You expect them to just allow anyone into their country without checking them!

Countries battling serious political instability and terrorism, yet showing little commitment to tackling those issues, shouldn't be surprised when they face restrictions on the international stage.

This isn't Nigeria, where people from Niger and Mali can move in and out of the country with minimal oversight while insecurity continues to grow. For years, we've watched terrorists exploit weak border controls and other loopholes, often hiding behind religious or ethnic sentiments to avoid scrutiny.

The United States has every right to impose stricter vetting procedures on certain countries if its security agencies believe there are legitimate risks. Every responsible government has a duty to put the safety of its citizens first.

Pulling out is a favour to their group opponents, and not scattering anything

They would def be investing in sports. They do have their domestic leagues too and that they are playing in the WC shows some form of sports development. Investment in nukes and missiles is for self defense and preservation just like any reasonable country should. It is so sad there is too much political interference with this WC tournament. As usual though.
Khameni said investing in Nukes is for the destruction of countries , and not self defense

FIFA president is just after the huge ticket sales on America matches. that is the most expensive ticket in country tournament ever. I taught same thing too that nothing like that but it was displayed in Qatar in 2022 who the world taught the country will be hostile to people but turnout to be a highly successful tournament. so far, this world cup as not match that of Qatar in 2022.

They are doing the right thing ... keep showing up and let the Trump administration and FIFA display their hypocrisy and racism. Before this current war ... the majority of US citizens and citizens in almost every country saw Iran as a terrorist State. Since the war ... that propaganda is dead. The majority of Americans now see Iran as the victim and Israel as a terrorist State. Same in Europe. Nigerians are the only ones I know of that support Israel and the US against Iran. This is embarrassing... and can make things worse for Nigerians in their travels abroad.

Iran can actually host the world cup. Don't let the media fool you about them. It is an advanced country. One of the greatest female mathematicians in recent history is Iranian. They have 100% electricity in Iran. Do you? Their missiles are for defensive purposes. You get security guard for your house or estate? The argument here is don't defend yourself. If you do we would brand you terrorists through propaganda. Israel is bombing Lebanon. Why? What has this got to do with football? Libya and Iraq were bombed to the stone ages. Did the responsible country get banned from anything? Your next point would be that Gadaffi and Sadam were terrorists. Why not get them specifically? So what was Senegal's crime to be treated as such? How did this Iran war start?

The greatest point of Iran is: It was able to get what it wanted, emerge stronger as a regional power from this war. All these US bickering are worthless

NaijaCrusader:
Very stupid talk coming from someone who obviously has not left the shores of this nation. Racism and segregation of all kinds must be condemned at all levels there is no excuse for it. You no I pity people like you because you speak out of ignorance and stupidity, segregation and insecurity are never fully understood by simple persons until it happens to them.
If your 🧠 is working perfectly, you shouldn't conclude that someone has not left the shores of a nation facing terrorism and banditry sponsored by many agents from Iran.

You should pity yourself and the rest for the kidnapping ragging in your country!

USA as a nation is been careful not to allow these terrorists people use World Cup tournament as an opportunity to enter her soil. It is not about rascism, or are they the only middle east islamic nation at the world cup? This is how a reasonable nation should act and not like your own shore nation that loves accommodating bandits and kidnappers and at the end, you have to pay them for your released if they kidnap you. That is the daily business of your shore nation!

Then tell them to bid for it okay!

So their missiles and nukes were produced likewise to supply those bandits and kidnappers disturbing your nation in a defensive measure right?

If they don't first attack Israel, IDF won't be attacking them back. Did you remember the incidence of October 7th even prior this date?

To know how Iran war and whatever war you mentioned above started, you should make google your friend as simple as ABC

Iranians should walk out of the world cup as the present set-up will not give them a sound mind to concentrate on the world cup.

let FIFA live with their stupid decision of hosting the world cup in US under madman Trump
