The president of Iran’s football federation says he does not know if the national team can play World Cup matches in the US after the US and Israeli bombardment of the country.

“What is certain is that after this attack, we cannot be expected to look forward to the World Cup with hope,” Mehdi Taj said to the sports portal Varzesh3

Oh I bet they'll be thrilled having just bombed them.

This is plucking at straws, wont teams in their group want their results written off so the group looks different possibly :shrug: how far do we go back

There are many possibilities, if/until they actually withdraw, its all speculation.

I think this time, with all the things going on, they might be secretly pleased not to be going :D

Gattuso was never the right choice as Italian coach.

England fans are facing having to pay train fares of more than £100 to watch one of their World Cup group matches in the USA.

Anyone going to a game at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey from New York City's Penn Station will have to pay $150 (£111) for the 15-minute, nine-mile (14km) journey, US transport officials said.

That's nearly 12 times the usual $12.90 (£9.50) fare for the return trip from Manhattan to the venue in East Rutherford, which is home to both the NFL's New York Giants and New York Jets.
