I think this may be one of the few times FIFA will appropriately use their muscle, in penalizing the Iranians. Iran isn't in their inner circle, like the Qatari's, Russian's...

Can you change the thread title to update the years?

I can understand (although I condemn) the culture of male domination and setting up wacky rules to keep women suppressed. What I can't understand is why they won't allow women into a stadium to consume entertainment, same as if they would on TV or radio. That's not giving them any sort of power or decision making ability. It makes no sense in the scope of men being the dominate sex.
You ever gone to a hockey game with your wife or girlfriend?

Thats why....

I kid! I kid!
