Iran have already withdrawn. Just think, if he bombed one country in Europe, France, Germany, England etc would also withdraw and if he kept going the USA could actually win the World Cup, henceforth known as the Trump FIFA World Cup. The man's a genius.

"Infantino had earlier posted on Instagram that he had met with President Trump to discuss preparations for the tournament and "spoke about the current situation in Iran".

He said: "We all need an event like the Fifa World Cup to bring people together now more than ever, and I sincerely thank the President of the United States for his support, as it shows once again that football unites the world.""

Where's Russia then? Not saying they necessarily should be competing, but everyone else seems ok.

Let's look on the bright side, it's taking an average of four months to get a visa for the USA and they want five years of your social media history, before they issue one.

Just like going to Qatar and Russia in the last two, it’s not really do able or affordable for the average football fan. The idea of groups going on holiday (Spain Greece etc..) instead seems to becoming the new normal.

The next one in Spain, Portugal and Morocco should be easier for European fans (apart from the games in Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay!).

Has Infantino stopped to think what’s caused Iran’s withdrawal?
