Iran can no longer qualify with a loss against Egypt

We need a draw or win

To be fair, qualifying with a loss against Egypt was never a serious option.

Come out and read chapters of the Quran really loud, especially praising the union between men and women in marriage.
Time to show them our culture.

Guess what?
Our football federation posted a video of our team before the match reading (Al-Fatiha) and voila jews, christians and other people with other faiths began to attack our team and called it hate speech

WTF? How was that not a foul? Are they blind?

High foot. I agree.

But Germany and Ivory Coast demolishing their opponents today helps teams in other groups who may finish 3rd, e.g. Iran.

Yeah, but it was super obvious.

I can't understand how they didn't see a problem with it in the VAR room.

A couple of poor VAR decisions this world cup. Need a whole new forum, let alone a thread, to discuss the problems of VAR though!

Germany looking solid. Musiala is some player.

As for the foul, how the onfield ref didn't see it in the first place is beyond me, never mind VAR. She was hardly 5-10 metres away and saw it full on.

Tori Penso doesn't know what she's doing.

An American conspiracy to ensure the Ecuadorians are handicapped.

DEI hire?

 

[Master Chief]

DEI hire?

DEI is an American conspiracy against the rest of the world mate!

 

[AZ_HighCountry]

And while I say those last two posts of mine jokingly, even a casual observer of this sport such as myself could see she missed the call bigly.

The VAR referee probably didn't want to receive the wrath from NOW for being a sexist if he overturned her call.

 

[ShapurII]

DEI hire?

Well, she's refereeing the match now only because of her gender, not her competence for sure. Any average referee would've easily seen that it was a foul.

As I used to teach my teams, always get a partner. That way, if you go down, you get to take someone with you.

 

[Master Chief]

Lol. Tori Penso has got this one wrong too.
