ON THE POINTS OF DIVERGENCE

Legitimacy of the IRGC filter
Coverage aligned with this reading
FIFA's arbitrator personality
Coverage that diverges · with one other country
Human vs administrative framing
Coverage that diverges · with 2 other countries

BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

Legitimate anti-IRGC framing: the staff filter is presented as rational without questioning its compatibility with FIFA rules.

Player/official separation as narrative tactic: generosity toward players masks firmness toward staff.

Detail in the war flow: the American press does not hierarchize the event, which appears in the same flow as Hormuz.
