What's your thoughts on this 2026 World Cup?

[Meedy]

Completely corrupt, obvious match fixing, horrible treatment of Iranian Team.

Maybe that is a tradition going back several years?

Iranians are always portrayed as the bad guys innit?

Have not been informed of any horrible treatment at the World Cup this year. I need all the details, please.

[Meedy]

Some examples:

They had to leave US straight away after their games so not enough time to rest.

Important goals were ruled offside but they were not offside.

Being harassed by the phalavi animals.

Algeria and Austria intentionally drew their match so Iran didn't get to qualify for the next round.

Fifa has, is and will be always corrupt. They'll never allow African or Asian team to win the trophies.

The new technology in sports seems to make it easier to match fix

I attended the World Cup game of Iran vs New Zealand. My son was graduating from college in Los Angeles that weekend so we stayed a few more days to attend their World Cup game in Los Angeles. First of all, I went into 3 stores prior to the game to buy Iran jerseys or World Cup merch to wear to the game and none of the stores in downtown Los Angeles that I went to were carrying Iran stuff. These stores were carrying what seemed like every other countries gear. it was disappointing. I wish I would have known so I could have ordered something online ahead of my trip to LA. Once we got to the game there were monarchists waving Pahlavi flags and Israeli flags with a blocked off section of the road where they had a large sound system that looked like it belonged on a concert stage blasting music. How did they obtain the permit to do this? You could tell these people were not there for the game because you could not get through security with a flag pole, etc. They wanted people to care about the "50,000 Iranian deaths due to protest crackdown" but only selectively cared about the sanctity of human life, as they had nothing to say about Palestinian deaths. 

Anyways, once we got into the stadium it was packed with people cheering on Team Melli. Some of them had IR Iran flags and some of them had Pahlavi flags even though the news only covered the ones with Pahlavi flags. By far most people did not have flags and were wearing colors to support the Iranian team. There were not loud boos when the national anthem was played even though this is what the news reported. Yes, one of the Iranian goals was declared offsides in the match with New Zealand and the fact this happened across all of their matches is fishy. It is unfair that the team had to arrive for the game from Mexico and leave US within 24 hours. They played well across all of their matches and did not lose. I am proud of the team and they engaged with the press well. Right now, I am cheering for Egypt. I hope they win against Argentina on the 7th.

Corrupted and rigged. Argentine will win for sure since the owner worship Messi and both of them love licking Zionists boots.

I hope Morocco wins too. It is beautiful and inspiring to see the Muslims team go into sujood when they score goals. But Messi does have a following.... since it is his last World Cup, as he previously stated, there may some extra worship of him. 

[Meedy]

Congratulations Morocco won

Wait until you hear this one:

President Trump called some FIFA guy and said to let the US player who got a red card play the next game. He will not be suspended for that game but will be on probation for a year.. Belgium is mad.

That is super corrupt. I couldn't believe it at first because it sounds so crazy but I looked it up and you are right; New York Times is confirming it, 

[Meedy]

Fifa is no longer hiding their corruption. They know people won't do anything about it and they know people will still turn up, watch the games, pay etc..

They will never allow an Asian team or an African team to win it.

Thats why we should boycott it. They choose who win and who should not win. 

[Essentials123]

Posting at half time with Belgium up 2-1 vs USA. If USA loses to a team that Iran ties.... some inferences will be made, lol.

I wish it happened but unfortunate it didn't, it was expected tho. Egypt should drink from the same cup iran had, Iran was treated very badly and even tho they won against egypt, we know trump didn't allow them to win. 

Atleast the egyptian coach has admitted the match was rigged.

To answer coach question, the reason why they want other countries to participate is because fifa want the milk money as much as they can. 

[Essentials123]

Egypt was cooked because the coach was waiving a Palestinian flag. 

[Zaid.AN]

In my view, this is the most bizarre World Cup we have witnessed, marked by the shocking exits of football heavyweights and blatant, unprecedented political interference.

Fully agree, this World Cup has been one of the most corrupt ones yet. The obvious bias against Muslim and Asian teams is disgusting. Iran was treated horribly and the political interference is getting out of hand. FIFA only cares about money and certain agendas. Boycott seems like the only logical response at this point.

Look like Messi will win the World Cup this year as well, out of the 4 countries, Argentina is the most Zionist and Satanyahu mentioned he support Argentina so obviously they will win

The evidences are so clear so I don't understand how people can be naive and say it can't be. Argentina is going to win, Fifa's favourite boy Messi the Zionist going to win it. No longer worth following it, as matter fact of I don't think its worth following any other sports as well.

I swear if Argentine lose, I will make a small donation even tho currently I have financial issues right now. I’m still mad at my dad and my brother, they never played football in their whole life and out of nowhere they started simping on Messi and if anyone talk negatively about him, they immediately attack him lol

[Hameedeh]

It's just a game. It takes skill but luck is involved, too. Anybody could win this today.

That is a person on X (former Twitter) tweeting a video from the 2022 World Cup. (See: The stage that the players are standing on says 2022.)

Sister, I know the video is from 2022 when Argentina won in the World Cup of 2022. I meant why would they post it now? Fifa favorite team is Argentina, israhell favorite team is Argentina. I know there is a big amount of people in Argentina support Palestine but at the same time à big amount of them support israhell too. 
 

If Spain win the world cup today, I will be donating a small amount even tho i have financial issues. So let’s so pray for Spain who the people and their government support Palestine and rejected trump decision when he wanted to use Spain just like how he is using Persian gulf countries to attack Iran.

FIFA did not post that video now. The Twitter user named lexia tweeted that now to stir up hatred: "je déteste"

Sorry, I don't have X so I cannot look at all the tweets, only the one that lexia tweeted. I can't go further back to see the FIFA tweet. If FIFA tweeted the same one from 2022, that is really lame.

They could tweet people getting ready to watch the game. Choosing to tweet the Argentina national team winning four years ago seems to be a propaganda to demoralize this year's national team from Spain. 

[ShiaChat Mod]

I was not watching the world cup. I couldn't even find a radio station to listen to it. FIFA makes you pay I guess. After 90 minutes I heard my neighbor scream. I think they were watching the match.
