FIFA World Cup 2026

Wife is from Iran, came over in '79 after the revolution. We were rooting hard for them......and they were 92% likely to make the final 32 yesterday morning.

 

Now they are out, thanks to the Algeria - Austria tie (both of whom advanced). Argh! Iran- who went undefeated - somehow is one of the 16 bounced?

I was watching Algeria-Austria. Rooting for not getting a tie, so Iran can advance. 
 

The last 5 min I gave up as they were just bouncing around. Switched to Argentina and Jordan. Only to switch back after the surprise Algeria goal that brought Iran back, only to lose it again after Austria did the impossible. 
 

Iran had two offsides that in my books should have been goals. 
 

Anyhow at least Canada advanced today and will face off either the Netherlands or the Moroccans.
