Iran came to this World Cup with both the US and FIFA against them. Harassed before kickoff. Exhausted by the system. Robbed by the whistle. 2 goals taken away. 3 matches without a loss. Yet, they go home. That's not defeat — that's injustice.
The most corrupt World Cup ever / Thanks America
And non stop intervals for adverts

Iran is officially eliminated from the 2026 FIFA World Cup. They didn't lose — they were pushed out by the US and FIFA. The tournament has just lost its soul

Without a doubt but you could say exactly the same if not more so about FIFA as they allowed these things to happen. It would have been very easy to just say no but then Infantino wouldn't be able to line his own pockets just as much if not more so, as they (FIFA) are supposed to look after the integrity of the game.

The ‘
drinks’ breaks are effectively ‘
coaching’ breaks and sadly typical of the US system that puts advertising
$$$ over competition and consistency; and they make extra
$billions from it!
Mind you, your average American doesn’t have a 45-minute attention span, so that might be part of it!

Trumps a maniac but anyone thinking a theocratic death cult like Iran, having nukes is a good idea, really wants to wise up. The Iranian regime are not the good guys.
FIFA have undoubtedly sold the game we love, down the river, but a dislike of Trump shouldn’t mean support for the religious fanatics of Iran.

This is just blindly reposted from Twitter/X.
I am no fan of Trump, but Iran just weren't very good. And many Iranians wanted the team to lose as they believe it represents the regime, not their country (i.e. how they are being called IR Iran)
And one of those goals disallowed (correctly) was against Egypt.

100%, blows my mind that people have sympathy for a country whose leaders would kill every single white European person if they had their own way.
