Well, just the the mere existence of the game would suggest the existence of Palestine, which itself is considered controversial by some.
Honestly, speaking as an Iranian, I don’t know why Palestine is more controversial than Iran. Iran oppresses its own people on the regular, it has sovereignty, UN status, and a military.
We could probably move this over to the non-USA thread, but the western colonial states aren’t propping up all that oppression of the Persian people… in fact they routinely make noise about it.
That’s a terrible shot, catches the keeper out with how tame it was, and he goes down wrong on it. Loops in and it’s 1-0 Japan.
And Japan’s out as well… at the same stage as Aus.
Japan’s football needs an overhaul…
