(Reuters) - A top envoy for U.S. President Donald Trump has asked FIFA to replace Iran with Italy in the upcoming World Cup, the Financial Times reported on Wednesday. The plan is an effort to repair ties between Trump and Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni after the two fell out amid the American president's attacks against Pope Leo XIV over the Iran war, the FT reported, citing people familiar with the matter. "I confirm I have suggested to Trump and (FIFA president Gianni) Infantino that Italy replace Iran at the World Cup. I'm an Italian native and it would be a dream to see the Azzurri at a US-hosted tournament. With four titles, they have the pedigree to justify inclusion," U.S. special envoy Paolo Zampolli told the FT. The White House, FIFA, the Italian Football Federation(FIGC) and Iran's football federation (FFIRI) did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment.

Something that has never happened in the history of football is about to happen in the Premier league this season And it's not about Arsenal bottling the league It's about Wolverhampton wanderers. The season started with Wolves as the bottom team due to alphabetical order After their first game, they were still bottom as they lost to Manchester City 4:0. And since then, they have never left that position The chances of a team never changing a position they were placed in alphabetically at the beginning of the season stands at 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000003649%. Something close to impossible is just a bout to happen.



Too many young players are not getting the opportunity due to the stigma around Tier 3…. Trust T3 clubs with young talent from WSL clubs rather than leading them to believe anything lower than WSL 2 is not aiding their development.
