FIFA Is Upset with Iran
By Micah Halpern

Saturday June 27, 2009

I've Been Thinking:

FIFA is up in arms with Iran.
FIFA is the Federation Internationale de Football Association.

Fact is, more Iranians watch soccer than go to mosque.
And evidently, the four Iranian soccer players who wore green wristbands in support of the protestors have been removed from the Iranian national team.

That game was broadcast across the world and everyone saw the Iranian team defeat South Korea in the qualifying rounds for the World Cup.
Unfortunately, Iran was later bounced out of the running because Saudi Arabia drew against North Korea.

FIFA received a letter informing them that Iran had punished the players.
FIFA asked for clarification.
The Iranian Football Association responded by saying no one was punished.
Of course, it is difficult to challenge the Iranians assertion - we all know that there are transparent democratic agencies in Iran.
