FIFA must be congratulated for squashing calls from “Despotic” groups baying for Iran’s expulsion from the World Cup tournament. These elements, undoubtedly have vested interests for their demands and these seem to be against all principles of eqality and mutual respect . Politics and sport work best , when seperated from each other. I scorn these people for attempting to disrupt a nation’s quest for sporting glory and fervently hope the world see the true, “seedy” , intentions behind such voices.
