I mean, clearly in the case of Iran, there's been times where he's absolutely followed through.
No, I mean, you'd be very, very surprised.
But there's been some very uncertain moments within that, you know, that they...
I mean, Infantino went to see him at the White House.
This must have been maybe six weeks ago and comes out about midnight.
Infantino puts on Instagram because that's how most of FIFA's communication now works.
It doesn't work through sort of official FIFA releases.
It just comes on Infantino's Instagram.
And basically says, you know, he's spoken to Trump and of course Iran will be welcome and of course Iran won't have a problem.
And then I think the next day Trump was sort of posting about, you know, he wouldn't care whether Iran come or not.
So it was very embarrassing for Infantino that, you know, he would go to the White House, appear to get these assurances.
then Trump the next day would appear to sort of call that into question in some respects.
But at this stage, it doesn't feel more than that.
There's been no material moment where
The US government has said the Iran national team can't come or won't come.
But there is question about whether some of the Federation officials who have alleged ties to the IRGC will be allowed.
No, definitely.

It's normally a $12.90 return.
