Lord have mercy on us. Immediately after dead is judgement. Be careful how you live your life. Repent and believe in Christ today!
😂 wtf? Are u serious this is disgusting 🤢
if they really felt that strongly, Egypt and Iran could withdrawl. I think the match will be fine. Human rights are not political.
For once Trump and Iran are on the same side.
so forcing your "culture" on others is the so called modern nations trait !
Being LGBTQ isn't a political position. It's just about being human.
The far right and religious fundamentalists have chosen to politicise the human rights of the LGBTQ community. That's on them
Those dam G4Ys are fighting hard 😂😂😂. They need a candle for their cakes 🤣.
America, the land of freedoms!!!!! Hahahaha, that was then, now everything has been exposed😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Everyone who speaks of freedom and its right for all. Don't the people of Egypt and Iran, and both countries, have the right to reject such ideas? You must stop the double standards; football and sports should be completely free from all kinds of Differences of opinion and ideas must be respected, especially the ancient cultures of great civilizations like Egypt and Iran, and above all, religions must be respected.
Good.
So, Iran and Egypt don't have to fly one. There, problem solved. 😏🙄
Lord, now “all LGBTQIA+ persons must be rounded up and ritually sacrificed in the waters of the Strait of Hormuz” is going to be added as the 15th point in the Iran peace deal, just wait and see.
We just can’t catch a break, can we? Happy Pride everyone!!!
Can FIFA do anything about Mexico fans chanting homophobic chants during games👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

Happy Pride Month, guys! See you at the World Cup!
That's why Iran defeated the Epstein army
When you are in the host country, you must respect their values. Play football and stop crying
what has this has to do futball
SO Shia and Sunnis can actually agree on the fundamentals..
Well done FIFA
Tolerating something does not mean you condone it.
Culture war is about suppressing the views of those who you deem to be on the other side.
Well then, Muslim teams can simply boycott this filth simply no show.
Flags represent countries not sex
Looks like "Respect others culture" goes only one way!
