Sanction Shame shadows the World Cup
The regulations of the 2026 World Cup raise concerns over a repeat of the "Hiycin Shame" scenario, where the final matches of the group stage could be postponed due to bad weather without stopping the other games. This could allow teams to learn their results as the matches unfold and influence the fairness of the competition. According to FIFA, the second match will not be halted if the other is affected, which recalls the 1982 incident when Germany and Austria allegedly conspired over their results. The first weather-affected match in this edition was between France and Iraq, which was delayed for two hours before ending with France's victory. FIFA continues to pursue its policy of completing matches despite the controversy, putting the integrity of the competition on the line.
