^Tbh, it seems like IFF do their own (funding and approval), and CQ does his own. I don't really think there's any interaction between the two parts..

Couldn't we do that with a tournament like WAFF? Do you feel 1 game against Sweden or a few sporadic friendlies is enough to rebuild a team? That's what I like to see TM do, use tournaments like WAFF to rebuild, test youngsters or B squads...and save big name friendlies for the A squad to get match ready. But I guess as some people on this forum would say, "we are not Brazil..."
already gathered over 100 people that are ready to travel from Gothenburg !
No I am not saying that...actually furthest thing from it. We are now doing exactly what we did for 2014. Play club teams before a major tournament (AC)...then play big name European countries well in advance of the WC...just like when we played Russia and Brazil. By the time 2014 rolled around the squad was completely revamped.
If you have been following my posts, you will see that I have been lamenting the poor planning, mismanagement, and terrible organization. I am saying we need to train and spend time on fitness during "off seasons" so to speak, and use tournaments like WAFF and other meaningless events to "test" new players and so forth. I believe we should line up decent friendlies 2 years prior to WC 2018 and have them regularly...at least once every 3-5 months if not more! We should not waste our opportunities with big names, and then try to rush a series of friendlies within 3-4 months...I am not happy with just being a spectator and 3 pts for other teams in the WC...but I see no change in IFF philosophy at the moment...to be fair, I am not seeing much from CQ that has me convinced he has a goal beyond just making it to the WC at present either!
Will you be covering return expenses as well should the match be canceled by IFF? :rofl:
Screw return expenses if they don't show up we will go and burn the freaking embassy.
So then I guess Kabob is on the menu for all fans if they don't show up! I know the feeling though, when Perspolis came to play the Toronto Lynx, I made my parents drive my friends and I 8 hours to watch that match...nothing like seeing a bunch of Perspolisi stars who had overeaten and over-partied the night before, lose to an amateur club 2-0 lol...oh the memories :rofl:
