Canada Soccer calls off planned friendly match with Iran

TORONTO — Canada Soccer has cancelled a planned friendly with Iran in the face of growing criticism.

In a one-paragraph statement, the governing body gave no reason for the cancellation of the scheduled June 5 game at B.C. Place Stadium in Vancouver.

But the idea of hosting the Iranian team, ranked 21st in the world, has drawn fire since it was first announced.

At issue is whether Canada should be hosting Iran given the Canadians who died on Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752 when it was shot down on Jan. 8, 2020, minutes after taking off from Tehran, by an Iranian surface-to-air missile. The Canadian government says 55 Canadian citizens and 30 permanent residents were among the 176 people killed.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the game "wasn't a very good idea," pointing the finger at Canada Soccer. Conservative MPs added their voice to the protest on Wednesday.

In a statement, the Association of Families of Flight PS752 Victims called for Canada Soccer "to cancel the game immediately."

I remember reading a few days ago no country paid Iran to participate in a friendly for 22 years and Canada would have been the first to do so had it gone through. That alongside the growing calls to cancel the match because of the plane and general lack of women's rights in Iran were huge red flags that there's a solid ass chance this game would be cancelled. I was about to buy tickets yesterday then figured I'll wait one more day

Honestly at this point I don't know what to believe. Everybody lies and virtue signals. All I know is Canada bends over for everyone and everything so I saw this cancellation coming

All I wanted to do was to go and watch TM play. I wanted nothing to do with politics. Because it is not a political arena. But I guess a few hamvatans are happy because this game is canceled.

But you forget that Estili was photographed at a party with some dude that MAYBE wanted to kidnap Sideshow Bob (you know, using a speed boat from New York to Venezuela without fueling while crossing US coast line). So I guess it all makes sense???
