Funny thing is that Ali Kafashian opposed any sanction, but all German media is doing is to copy the DPA article. Where were those media when Figo, Roberto Carlos and Cannavaro played in Iran?

What makes me angry is that Western media outlets exaggerate the story. That Dejagah is going to be banned for life is pure fabrication from these assholes to put Iran in a negative light. I don't understand why such a thing would happen if he has played all the time with his tattoo's, and suddenly it's forbidden? Fvck them!
Subtle brainwashing that happens in the West is more dangerous than anything PressTV and CCTV can do.
The media of a country has the opinion of another country based on what their government dictates to them. Once the deal passes, and they give the green light for better ties, you'll start to see travel ads to Iran.
I have a bad feeling we are going to underestimate India based on initial photos of autographs/selfies. I have been reading that Indias coach is bonkers though, playing Chettri as a LM. They have one 6'1 striker who is named Robin Singh. Hosseini should be careful.
From browsing Indian forums, it looks like Indias midfield has a rough time with posession. If they do choose to bunker Im curious to see what we do since we typically dont do well against Qatar/Bahrain bunkering.
There are only two possible culprits in making Iran or Iranians look bad in general, giving the timing at the moment.
1. Xenophobe right wingers who hate Islam and immigrants in general (ISIS and fanaticism) but can not distinguish between Sunni and Shia. Iran is also an easy target for them, since there is no serious reaction for whatever garbage they throw at us, so they satisfy themselves by talking shit about us. (Thanks to AD our international image is like an old dog whoever like can kick and nobody bother or care)
2. Right winger Jewish/Israeli lobbies who want to catch the public attention with rubbing mud at our face. This group don't care if we are non Muslims, Muslims, supporters of regime, or opposition. They only try to up lift their own agenda, and that is their biggest strategist failure.
Just imagine if they say the same lies about Saudi Arabian or Israeli football federation. They will be toasted almost constantly in media.
Yellow journalism should be considered as well. They are only after catchy titles even if they are pure fabricated lies.
TM is going to BANG ... GALORE!
So the tattoo thing looks to be going away. The head of the disciplinary committee resigned today and one of his reasons was Kaffashian's comments that the Azmoun and Dejagah issue shouldn't have been announced to the media.
Before that the guy claimed he could ban them and fine them. But it was obvious that neither Azmoun nor Dejagah were going to show up.
