In my opinion, let the players concentrate on the football, they shouldn’t have to play political games.

That’s just sportswashing imo

The players have rbe stage to make a difference and they are bottling it

Pathetic is what it is.

But, I’m sure all those that don’t like ‘politics’ interfering with their sport will be happy.

So, by your reckoning if the World Cup was in U.K it would be ok for the tournament press, and it’s watchers and officials to be going on about U.K policies and laws , would it?
Or if in the USA, they could go on about their policies including gun laws etc etc.

This is a football tournament being held in a particular country. We should not get into going to whichever Country is running the sporting tournament and using the Sports presenters and their programmes to criticise that Country’s laws, policies etc., or try to get the participants in the sports to answer questions on those non sporting issues.
Where would it end? Olympics?, Rugby World Cup, Any World sporting events ?
It is not the occasion to do it.

And, in a political discussion away from these sporting environments, you would find my views on certain countries probably coincides with yours?

I don’t consider wanting people to be treated fairly as a political issue.

It’s quite sad, if not surprising how many on here can’t separate that.
 
Apart from the rugby tackle and pulling Maguire to the ground, that was never a penalty.

The Iran goalie apart from seeing 4 balls is fit to play as well ?
 
How big was his nose beforehand - anyone know?!

Seriously though it is a joke he's been allowed to stay on the field. One more bang to the head could be very serious.
