Dude I call Alireza Ali sometimes too. Many of his friends, interviewers and commentators say and have said “Ali” Jahanbakhsh before. Leave the poor guy alone lol.

In my experience no one call Alirezas by their full name. They either choose Ali or Reza and that's what they are called.
Admitted some Alirezas I've met prefer their full name but people still don't call them by their full name....... How often is a Mohamad called Mohamad and not mamad or mamal instead?
Yes, and that's what I said. They do want it that way, but other people (friends and family) don't bother. When you don't know the person then you call them Alireza out of politeness (the same way you don't call a mohamad mamad/mamal, or a mojtaba moji, etc. etc.).
We are not as bad as the Americans when it comes to shortening/changing names but we have our fare share (zari, fati, feri, sia, kia, etc.)

The way the draw is shaping up, Mathew Ryan and Alireza Jahanbakhsh will only face each other in the Asian Cup (if at all) in the final. #bhafc
Australia and Iran will be kept apart if Iran win their group.
Maybe Jahanbakhsh should play as a 2nd striker/CAM given the situation he is in right now. He did pretty good awhile back when he was played there.
Iran 0 Iraq 0
