    I would surprised and dismayed if Italy accepted such an offer. They didn’t make qualification, just like a lot of other countries, so they should not even consider such an offer. If the host country finds itself unable to fulfil their hosting duties then they should hang their heads in shame and never be selected to host again.

    It would be pretty shit of FIFA not to simply put all of Iran’s games in Mexico or Canada. Why should a qualified team miss out just because one of the host countries is run by a bunch of useless cunts?

      Italy’s DT already cried foul that South America has 6 slots while they had to go to the wildcard. They would take the free pass 100%, IMO.
