If we qualify because Trump deliberately attacked Iran, insulted the Pope and then asked FIFA to replace Iran with Italy in the World Cup to mend relations, I become a San Marino lifelong.

>and then decide the winner by *cough* jury *cough*
The juries were a great move by Eurovision. I remember before they had them, and every former communist country did insanely well because Latvia would vote for Lithuania, Lithuania would vote for Latvia, Bosnia would vote for Croatia, Croatia would vote for Bosnia, and the quality of the songs didn't matter at all. It was outrageous a few years ago when that brilliant Norwegian song won the popular vote but came second due to (((jury)) shenanigans, but the juries are a good thing again now that Israel openly keep trying to rig the public voting.

>muh "East Block voting cabal" theory
Shut the fuck up, Terry Wogan. Countries vote for the songs they can understand, simple as.
Nobody complains when Ireland always votes for the United Kingdom or when Belgium always votes for the Netherlands or when Portugal always votes for Spain. Neighbors vote for neighbors because they have similar fucking languages often.
Just send good fucking songs for once instead of hiding behind "muh Balkaners, muh Baltics, muh Slavs".
It's been 20 years. Get over it.

This YouTuber is blatantly controlled by Eurovision, and yet even he is going into proper journalism and finding what's wrong with Israel's participation in Eurovision. And obviously I am anonymous here so you can pretend I'm Muslim if you want, but he appears in his videos so you can tell he's not Muslim:

What exactly is sacred about fifa rules that we all know are deliberately designed to include lesser countries for the sake of world parity? You just dogmatically accept low expectations for the third world bc rules are rules and then have a conniption if they go another direction for an extenuating circumstance which would actually include the best ranked team that hasn't qualified? How is it cheating? You may be deranged

what is the extenuating circumstance?
>failed to finish top of their qualifying group
>failed to win their playoff sudden death match
L on top of L...and they're supposed to play over other teams who did WIN their matches because muh history o algo
Anyway this thread is done:
"An envoy for President Donald Trump reportedly asked FIFA to replace Iran with Italy in North America this summer. However, Italian sports officials shot down that idea, saying it was "not appropriate."
"First of all, it’s not possible. Secondly, it’s not a good idea," Italian Sports Minister Andrea Abodi said Thursday. "Qualification is done on the pitch."
Luciano Buonfiglio, the president of the Italian Olympic Committee, which oversees all sports in Italy, also dismissed the idea of taking Iran's place.
"I would feel offended," Buonfiglio said. "You need to deserve to go to the World Cup."
Thank you. JFC

Of course they'll say that because it's just talk now. If it gets real and Fifa offers them the spot and all the millions that go with it... Besides it's their FA that has to decide, not some Olympic committee bozo.

Italian broadcasters paid over the odds for a World Cup without Italy. Deal agreed before the POs. They'll be over the moon if Italy gets backdoored in and force the Italian FA to accept. If Iran stay home then it comes down to who hands Infantino the biggest brown envelope.

What rules are being changed? If Iran pulls out, then the rules say its within FIFA discretion to appoint a replacement as they see fit. Since you worship rules uncritically, you should be satisfied with whatever is decided.

>Regulation 6.7 of the FIFA World Cup 2026 regulations grants FIFA exclusive discretion to handle the withdrawal or exclusion of any participating member association. The regulation states that if a team withdraws or is excluded, FIFA "shall decide on the matter at its sole discretion and take whatever action is deemed necessary."
