    I’d love to see Iran knock out the US it could potentially happen I think if both finish their groups in second place.

    Crazier things have happened.

    The US Men can’t win a World Cup fairly, so they’ll just kneecap the other teams with immigration shit instead.

            I could, but when it’s my fault I’ll take the heat.

            Writing and prose are invaluable tools of interlocutory efforts. I exemplify an extensive history of accusations of bot-generated conversation in online games, established far earlier than the modern wave of Clankers in our midst.

            If I fail an edit, it’s my fault. Autocorrect’s execution during the word smithing process or not. My name is on the top, so I stand by the quality of the words as published.

            Okay, this got out of hand. I usually screw up whenever I don’t put on my glasses before I hit post. Have a good one!

      I don’t know, maybe because they’re athletes and not the cause of the conflict?

      What a monumentally stupid fucking comment.

        The nation with a three-century history of military action whenever we need a resource or our corporate overlords demand a better profit margin.

          I don’t want it here either. Don’t come to Meadowlands Stadium. It would send a clear message if the final game (and any others held there) has zero attendance and zero viewers.

          We’re already jammed on weekends. Don’t come to NJ. Don’t attend the games.

          Until the US Congress declares a war, we’re committed to a limited armed intervention. They’re calling it a war. The Iranian authorities don’t consider it being policed or limitedly intervened. For them, it’s a war.

      Sports should be above that. We had the Olympics in Nazi Germany.

        Why are we banning Russia then? But seriously, are you good with a team representing a country that is commiting a genocide or an offensive illegal war even as they play a game?
