no way it would be allowed. if iran withdraws, spot goes to asian team not europoor team
Italy is ranked #12 in Fifas world ranking. And all 11 teams above Italy has already qualified. So this could be an argument to go by: give the spot to the best placed team not qualified. It would be somewhat fair to be honest. I can't see Iran play with their national colors in America right now

Bit of a random post and didn't know where else to say it but Gilardino's assist for Del Piero's goal in 2006's semi final is so underrated.

Under so much pressure at such a crucial time in a tournament... never mind game, when the world is watching at the edge of their seats.

So much composure, creativity and finesse...

It was absolutely beautiful.

Normally, I always do. I typically love the international side of the game and really look forward to it.

This time though, not at all.
If Italy had made it to the World Cup, I’d definitely be watching it. But as it stands, it just feels like a dull and pointless tournament to me.

The only good thing is you might see a good amount of blondes in the crowds. Some nice pink anuses to enjoy :D
Dude, fuck blondes, I’ve missed my real love Azzurri, the one who inspired me to football and the only reason I’ve been following the sport.
The golden haired ones are always there, but that lovely Italy is gone. In one night of love and pleasure with blondes all desire fades away, but the sorrow of Italy not being in the World Cup is unbelievable.

There is ZERO buzz for the World Cup in the US. Again, "soccer" is viewed as a sport played by pussies here. The casual American has zero interest in making any kind of financial investment this summer. And the ridiculous prices will keep away the people that actually do care.

It'll be interesting to see what attendance looks like for these games, especially involving countries of little significance and zero star power. if you offered a casual American $100 to go watch something like Egypt vs New Zealand, they'd laugh in your face and say "no thank you"

And the sad part is it didn't need to be like this at all.
