The United States have been dumped out of the World Cup‚ humiliated 4-1 by Belgium - and the gleeful reaction of the rest of the world. After FIFA reversed the red-card suspension of USA star Folarin Balogun following pressure from Donald Trump‚ critics had warned that the integrity of the beautiful game was at stake. And‚ led by the Trump-dancing Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku‚ the reaction has been one of mockery. And Iran FA spokesperson this morning said: 'Now the whole world is dancing to celebrate politics' humiliating defeat by football.' While Belgium‚ who were furious with Trump's Balogun intervention‚ wrote on their official social media accounts: 'Overturn this.'

Scotland's miserable World Cup is officially over and the Tartan Army are heading home after Croatia defeated Ghana on Saturday night. A chastening 3-0 defeat at the hands of Brazil‚ which followed on from a nervy win over Haiti and an uninspiring 1-0 defeat to Morocco‚ had Steve Clarke and his players resigned to heading home at the first opportunity. That has now been mathematically confirmed as wins for Belgium‚ Bosnia & Herzegovina‚ Croatia‚ Ecuador‚ Senegal‚ as well as precious points for Iran‚ Paraguay and Sweden‚ meant that Scotland finished as one of the four worst third placed teams.

Iran leave new fair play note after draw with Egypt

Scotland need a miracle to remain one of the World Cup's top eight third-placed teams and stay in the competition. Steve Clarke's side are being hauled towards the abyss and Iran's draw with Egypt in the early hours of Saturday morning was another hammer blow to their chances.
