iran says will not play the world cup and fifa could sanction them (unlikely to happen)
it is normal, how could they go to the country bombing them and feel safe?
makes sense to allow someone in qualifiers to pass through if they finally refuse to play, probably EAU or just remove that games.. raffle already happened, usually it settles the games 🤔
on the other side
argentina does not want to play against spain in la finalissima, it got suspend after US and israel attacks over iran and iran response
uefa and spain proposed another places, formats.. etc.. and argentine federation rejected everything
why spain is not declared the winner?
