CANADA MATCH CANCELED!

[Keshwardoost]

Paraguay + Uruguay > Canada for sure - although at this point I dont hold much hope of getting both.
If Sko didnt CX New Zealand for no decent reason Paraguay+Uruguay+NZ would have been a near ideal June window.

someone call new zeeland and tell them that we will donate the profits of the game to a kiwi-sanctuary in newzeeland if they accept a game

Iran to seek compensation in relation to cancelation of the Canada match.

eh... Nothing is goin to happen. Rule of law (human rights, international agreements, norms, etc) are only there to be used as a stick when needed. In the very unlikely case that IFF sues and wins any money, then the Canadian government finds another excuse to not allow it.

When Canada reimburses Afghanistan for their complicity in the destruction of Afghanistan, when they boycott UK for the numerous documented atrocities over 300 years, when they try, convict and imprison the people responsible for the murder of the native children, when they give the oil and gas riches back to the natives who rightly own it........

.....only then may be I'll believe that they will compensate Iran for the damages caused by having their soccer policy set by KSA and Israel.

Rumours now - Paraguay and Uruguay.

- Uruguay are the 13th top-ranked team in FIFA.
- Paraguay have also been mentioned - they are the 50th ranked team by FIFA

Both would be great. Esp. Uruguay

TS Jan,

Please don’t make our mouths water ! This is very unlikely.

TS Jan,

And if it does miraculously happen it's an upgrade on Ecuador and Canada.

These are rumours based on Uruguay sources. Paraguay based on a decently reliable Iranian source on Twitter.

I'm not trying to get anyone's hopes up bro - everything about Iran is depressing as hell nowadays. For us living in ghorbat suffering from the blues, imagine what our countrymen are going through living there ... we could have had one football match to take us away from these protests, Abadan, economic situation, political situation etc.

"We thought it was best that maybe this game would not be played," veteran [Canadian] midfielder Jonathan Osorio said Friday after Toronto FC training. "My feeling is that around the (Canada Soccer) federation, it ended up being the same feeling as well. I don't think that the decision was made based on what we sent. We just sent our concerns, with everything happening. It's an unfortunate situation, I think. And it is what it is now. Now we're just looking forward to getting together anyways and start preparing ourselves for what's to come at the end of the year (the World Cup starting in November in Qatar)."

B’nai Brith Canada (staunchly pro-Israel group) filed an order in Federal Court seeking to prohibit Canadian funds from going to the Iranian Football Federation.

Did they have anything to do with the downed plane? Of course not, but their agenda is quite clear.

Yes and they'll probably try to find a way to steal that money for themselves.

I knew this MLS idiot would make comments. Wait for Belgium and Croatia to smack you back to reality.

He's going to WISH he had the friendly with Iran. Belgium/Croatia will put on a clinic against them.

Exactly. At this point, I rather Iran pursue a sure thing with weaker team in our region like Oman.

Much rather have a below average friendly that is 100% going to happen than a good friendly that's a maybe.

I can imagine the Canada instagram page after they lose their World cup games

We need the skull and crossbones emoji on PFDC

I found this from Uruguay's media: https://www.futbol.com.uy/Deportes/S...nario-uc822849

La selección uruguaya no jugará frente a la mayor de Jamaica en el Estadio Centenario el sábado 11 de junio, día para el que está previsto el partido de despedida de la Celeste ante su público en lo previo al Mundial de Catar.

Si bien desde el combinado caribeño propusieron presentarse con un equipo sub-23, la Asociación Uruguaya de Fútbol no acepta esa condición y ya está buscando otro rival. Entre los más codiciados en la zona aparece Irán.

Los iraníes tenían previsto jugar contra Canadá el 5 de junio en Vancouver, pero la Asociación Canadiense de Fútbol canceló el encuentro por las duras críticas recibidas. Entre los más críticos estuvo el primer ministro del país, Justin Trudeau.

La ola de críticas fue iniciada por familiares de las víctimas de un atentado de las fuerzas armadas de Irán en febrero de 2020 en Teherán, donde derribaron un avión de Ukranie International Airlines con un saldo de 176 fallecidos, entre los cuales había 85 canadienses.

Irán, que jugará el Mundial de Catar frente a Inglaterra, Estados Unidos y un rival de la repesca europea que saldrá del repechaje entre Gales y el ganador del cruce entre Escocia y Ucrania, no tiene más amistosos pactados en junio.

El partido contra Jamaica en Montevideo era el tercero de los amistosos que la selección dirigida por Diego Alonso tenía programados en junio dentro de su preparación para la cita catarí, que comenzará con dos cotejos en Estados Unidos.

La Celeste jugará el jueves 2 en Arizona ante México y el domingo 5 se enfrentará a Estados Unidos en Kansas City.
