Iran says its enemies deserved to crash out of World Cup, Foreign Minister Mottaki tells reporters, ‘Countries which played key role in imposing new sanctions against Iran—like England, America and France — got what they deserved in soccer tournament’

The elimination of England, France and the United States in the early stages of the World Cup was a just reward for their ill-treatment of Iran, its foreign minister said on Tuesday.

Iran did not qualify for the tournament in South Africa but fans have been glued to their televisions nonetheless in a country where soccer is the number one sport.

While the United States—often referred to by Iran’s leaders as “the great Satan”—was never a favorite at the tournament, the elimination of England and France before the quarter-finals was a crushing blow to their fans back home.

England and the US both lost in second round matches while Italy and world champions Italy fell in the opening group stage.

Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said they had all got what they deserved after they backed a new round of sanctions against Iran over its nuclear program which the West fears may be aimed at making a bomb, something Tehran denies.

“Whatever we witness today in the international political arena has been identically manifested in the 19th tournament of the World Cup,” Mottaki was quoted as saying by Iran’s official news agency IRNA.

“Those countries which played a key role in imposing new sanctions against Iran—like England, America and France — were all eliminated in the preliminary phases,” he said.

Brazil, which voted against the sanctions, is one of the favorites to win having impressively reached the last eight with a crushing 3-0 victory over Chile on Monday.

Iran played at the last World Cup finals in Germany four years ago but finished bottom of their qualifying group.

In 1998, they famously beat the United States 2-1 although neither side went through to the next round.

IRNA tried to interpret Mottaki’s remarks. “The foreign minister did not say it directly, but he apparently meant that the countries which supported the anti-Iranian resolution will withdraw from the diplomatic arena in the near future,” the news agency said.

IRNA Director Ali Akbar Javanfekr said Brazil, one of the favorites to win the World Cup, is expected to “play a more central role in international affairs, particularly regarding the opposition to Security Council sanctions.”

Cluebat for FM Motakki: If you prevented your degenerate, sadistic security forces from imprisoning, beating, prison-raping and killing your country’s young men; maybe you’d have a decent football team.

Perhaps if you also reflected on the fact that you are there to serve your people – not to humiliate, torture and kill them whenever they show any sign of expressing free will – then that team might just win some supporters, too. Insha’allah.
