Canada should be disqualified from hosting the WC 2026 for mixing politics and sports

[Pouya]

Canada won't be banned from World Cup just because they cancelled the game against Iran! ... Their federation is run by bunch of intelligent people who consider all implications and consequences of their actions.

LOL yes it was very intelligent of them to invite TM not having any clue of the backlash it can have. You're very unbiased thank you.

Anyways, it seems IFF has complained to FIFA and asked for Canada's 2026 WC hosting rights to be reconsidered.

There needs to be serious consequences for Canada for the reason that this sets a very dangerous precedent in the future. Now the Zionist, pro Israel lobby in all these countries, along with diaspora Iranians, and neocons can create a holy trinity coalition to try and sabotage us every step of the way in the future.

Soon they could target us in FIFA-sanctioned competitions. Basically the mafia dons of the world - wealthy Western countries - can dictate who can play who because of X political reason. Its seriously dangerous and we need to take action (write about it in the media, post op eds, keep voicing anger at them, and call them out on their hypocrisy)

Like others have said, if the West was held to ANY political account of the atrocities they've committed, they would never see a football pitch or any sporting competition.

What if Iran is scheduled to play in Vancouver in the 2026 WC? Or in a city in the US? Will the Canadian or US authorities then submit to the human bot protests? If yes, then they can’t host the WC. If no, then why did they give in to political pressure this time and cancel the friendly in Vancouver?

Your guess is as good as mine.

Their level of hypocrisy is astonishing. And to subject TM fans to years of “what ifs” is cruel and obscene.

Look on the bright side though, this match being canceled means a likely friendly against a World Cup winner like Uruguay and a possibility of Cameroon/Congo. Some things happen for the better.

Anybody ever see the Stoning of Sorya M?? I know, some of you will jump on me and start whining about what does this have to do with anything? Well, its all about religion. The truth of the matter is that these made up theologies had their value back in the day, but those days are long gone. Until we realize that we don't need these idiots (who not only NOT know better, but actually worse than the average man) and that emphasis should be put on EDUCATION and not religion, we will continue to replay this vicious circle over and over. Sports or not. The level of corruption by these religious zealots is mind boggling. And they don't want the people to be educated, they are enjoying their status. Hence the people will continue to suffer and suffer. Whether through sports or day to day life. Every single one of these religions are based on one of the 4 P's: Power, Pride, Profit, and Pussy. Break that chain and you will have a chance. Then maybe Canada will be coming to Iran for a friendly.
I watch some of the travel videos by Drew Binksky. He's been to every country on this planet and he ranks Iran as #2 because of how friendly and warm our people are: https://youtube.com/shorts/LKU7OLCwHOQ?feature=share
Religion/politics or not, we invite PEOPLE into our homes. Cause PEOPLE are PEOPLE, so why should it be? Its not the people or the Country, its the regime. Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery. Tanks gods.
