What about the Offside Sharia Law? At least nobody will have to try and explain it to women

Sharia law will apply.
- hands ball = cut off hand
- hugging fellow player after scoring goal = homosexuality = death penalty
- looking at a female spectator = forced marriage

And Islamic State have yet to field an international team in football.... “They do have a strong local militant league with a growing youth squad, so they could be ones to watch in the future. Plus they’ve got lots of British-born talent going out there now to play.”

The bid was decided at a star-studded ceremony in Zurich, after what observers termed a “ruthlessly well-organised, take-no-prisoners style campaign”. FIFA President Sepp Blatter has defended the selection, noting that ISIS government policy, while ‘not perfect’, meets FIFA’s required ethical standards.
