    Iran was aware of the FIFA rules well in advanced and chose not to obey them. Why are they now upset that FIFA chooses to uphold the rules they set fourth.

      It is a new rule that FIFA is now trying to enforce....and a stupid rule.

      FIFA is at fault here. They figured everyone would just side with them since the other party involved is Iran.
