Just trying to imagine 10 years later, when someone talks / reads about "THIS" World Cup ...
... Possibly will be surprised to realize that a nation were happy that their so-called "National" team was eliminated on group stage.

I will be more than happy when England go out, winning it would be a complete sporting disaster. I dont want to hear one more word about arm bands, shoe laces, rainbows and all the other gestures that are so loved by our media and detested by those who want to watch a football competition.

I understand what you mean, but really am not talking about "politics" and what supporters / fans expect players to do ... But talking about Economy and Statics ...
Football was not, is not, and will not be our sport, we simply are not good at it!
Just compare total number of Medals won by Weight lifters / Martial Arts Athletes and Wrestlers, from 1900 till right now, by Football And footballists ...
Every single tournament like this, costs way over one hundred trillion Rials, without any medals, at all, it is completely meaningless.
Every single time, we are eliminated at group stage...
What if they just close that useless office, and spend that money, where it has some fruits at least?

Never watched a single football match on my life... Last time played any "football" games, was PlayStation 1's "Winning Eleven 3".

How much are they paid to take part?

I really don't know. There is no official nor unofficial estimates. But comparing with other athletes, they were and are living luxury.
Thanks, let's hope Germany wakes up and moves to the next stage, too.Oh and congrats to the Netherlands on advancing to the knockout stage,Marcel
At least one of the teams from our great rivalry will go on.
I dont mean the players I mean the Iranian FA. According to this teams get US$10.4 million (7.5 million pounds for taking part 1.2 million for qualifying)
Here is how much players and teams get paid at the World Cup
Lots of deep pockets all round.

I'm just watching for the theatrics - some of those dives are worthy of an Academy award.
Yeah, Netflix will soon come out with the series "Dive to survive"

Quick, copyright that title so they'll have to pay you royalties!
The Belgians dove out of the tournament. The only problem I have with that is that we'll have more riots induced by Moroccan fans…

Go Japan!
Go means five in Japanese. Is that an omen?
