I thought football was only called soccer in the USA

Dear CBC!Pls note that the people who have been vocal against the match do not represent all 250,000 Iranian-Canadians. Pls reflect the voice of rest of them too. Isolating Iran has just led to empowring the Country’s hard liners. A vicious cycle, deeply hurting ordinary Iranians

Well, d’uh! I’ve always referred to “the soccer gods” thinking they were the be all, end all, that soccer was the ultimate experience. PTTHHHPPHTTT.

No more friendly games? Just politics?

disappointing they didn't know the right thing to do on their own

Canada Soccer calls off planned friendly match with Iran in face of rising criticismCanada Soccer has cancelled a planned friendly with Iran in the face of growing criticism. That's so stupid. More CANCEL CULTURE BS. So who is Canada supposed to play now to prepare for the World Cup, that will actually be competitive? In the end, WINNING is all that matters. Not political correctness. Canada will go and play in Qatar happily but this one needed canceling? I expect you to cancel your participation in the world cup then
