I thought it was "Tie me kangaroo down, sport"...or it was until Rolf Harris's trial.

“Rolf, why did you tie the kangaroo down?”

Iranian women claiming asylum in Australia as they refused to sing the anthem.
Trump being very vocal in support of this.

The difficulty they have in making their application is they probably all have families still in Iran who could face some sort of retribution.

I've always had my suspicions about what he did to the kangaroo. I expect he got a kick out of it.

FIFA have confirmed that Iran will play at the World Cup. I look forward to the whole team claiming asylum.

No, they have assurances from Trump that Iran will be welcome at the world cup. Not the same thing.

This came to my attention and it makes you wonder what is happening. FIFA have cancelled thousands, potentially tens of thousands, of hotel rooms for the WC. Apologies for the source but it is one of the few without interference. Only mentions a couple of cities but it is happening in all the host cities.
