Ok Let us say Iran got banned from the WC.

Wouldn't the replacement be an Asian country?

Italy should only have a chance if a European country was banned.

Sounds reasonable, doesn’t it? I agree. Unfortunately, FIFA is like any corrupt organization. It is my understanding that according to the rules FIFA can select a country from any association.
