جزئیات لغو دیدار تدارکاتی تیم ملی فوتبال ایران با زیمباوه مشخص شد.
Baba, honestly this isn't the federation's fault. CQ tells them to book a certain team a couple of weeks before a FIFA date (be it Kenya or Zimbabwe or ... and for some reason he has a hard-on for African teams and Ebola at the moment) and they do their best to get it done on such ridiculously short notice, but he's asking for impossibilities here (in this case, the game would have been against FIFA regulations!). This is how this game came about:
Honestly, if it wasn't for the federation bypassing CQ and booking Korea, we wouldn't even have a game on the 16th. And CQ was even complaining about that game last week!
FIFA regulations aren't shit you find out about as a coach two weeks before game time. These games should have been requested by CQ and arranged in early 2014 or worst case scenario after the world cup when he took a two month vacation. Even now, when our preparations are in total shambles, he's in UAE watching beach football!
Didn't you guys read what our good friend from Sweden said, that he had to beg CQ to accept to play a friendly with Sweden. As soon as he gave the go-ahead, the federation made it happen. This guy's honestly killing TM and I know his first excuse if we fail (zaboonam laal) is going to be that he didn't get the full support of so and so in our preparation!
Looking forward to get raped by arab teams, gonna be fun to be the team with least prep:
Africa ebola camp probably also canceled..
I say this again like before
IFF should have and could have payed Kebya the 50K they asked for it was not that much money at all
for a country that is traveling to yous to play you in your stadium !!!!
Ridam be IFF and IRI
Honestly Sarbaz jaan, why should we spend $200k (including all travel and accomodations) to play with a no name African team? They should have been honored to play us paying all their own expenses, but asking for an extra $50k the day after the head of their federation already confirmed that the deal had been finalized was just plain stupid and should have been too much for any self-respecting TM fan.
At any rate, that game was also requested by CQ within a few weeks of the date and because of that the Kenyans sensed desperation on the part of the IFF and tried to take advantage of it. Like I said earlier, these games should have been arranged months ago. How come there are no issues playing proper teams like S. Korea and Sweden, but these feakin' 4th rate African teams that CQ approaches khodeshoono gereftan vaase maa?!
Please don't be surprised if the S. Africa camp (another genius idea from CQ) gets cancelled too and don't blame it on the federation. He arranged that game a week after S. Africa announced that they will not be holding the Africa Cup of Nations in January if Morocco drops off because of Ebola. What kind of a sane person goes and arranges a camp in a country and invites and African team, right after they announce that they don't want to host teams from Africa?!
You have no idea what you're talking about. You literally have no idea what's happening behind the scenes. Do you really expect us to believe that CQ is sabotaging himself? If he's turning down friendlies, there could be 1,000,000 reasons that neither you or I know about. The fact that you have the audacity to create this laughably false story based on bits and pieces of BS you've weaved together from the Iranian yellow press shows that you have an anti-CQ agenda. LOL.
