What is the plan with the world cup this year and Iran + USA ?

Several options. Some mentioned. Yet like the Olympics with Russia there might be independent representation. Really depends on how much of a team is left available. If they can't get out of Iran as a team, there's no options at all.

No point in playing with even half a team.

Good question! There is a lot of chatter b about it.

look, 25 minutes out is now 'long term objectives ' for us, so... just ease up. 🤪

Does anyone even care?

Actually, I doubt if any other nation will bother to send representation to the USA, which means the USA will be there alone and of course, the Americans will award themselves Gold by default when nobody else shows up to play.
