"Iran Wants AFC Asian Cup Title, Dejagah Says
November 09, 2014
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iranian international midfielder Ashkan Dejagah said that Team Melli is determined to win the title of the 2015 AFC Asian Cup.
The Iranian national football team started its preparatory camp in Tehran for the AFC Asian Cup on Sunday.
“We have had a good training camp in Portugal in October. I think the preparatory camp in Tehran will strengthen us for the Asian Cup,” Dejagah told the Tasnim News Agency.
Iran has been scheduled to play South Korea on November 18 in Tehran’s Azadi Stadium.
“We’ve defeated South Korea twice in the 2014 World Cup qualifiers and they are motivated to beat us, however Iran is a strong team. We will have to defeat every team in the Asian Cup. We are going to win the title in the competition,” Al-Arabi stated."

One, I only write inspirational articles before major tournaments, regardless of how I feel about TM's coach or prospects - that's if I get paid enough to write them of course!
Two, I like to think that my articles have been way more intelligent, well written and mostly years ahead of their time on touching on social issues.
Take this one from before the 2006 WC for example, that became reality 8 years later in Brazil...

Or this one that put the issue of dual-citizenship to rest 7 years before CQ invited Iranian dual-citizens to TM in large numbers:

And this one that I wrote despite not liking Branko and knowing that he was going to fail us at the world cup. You may as well substitute CQ for Branko, 'cause I like CQ a lot more than I ever liked Branko:

Yes, but never gonna happen. Reality is, we will only have one game, which is against SK. Everything else IFF and their puppets say are pure BS lies.
This is Maij's website. Glad t see that he is still active and has his website updated. Miss him, I wish he would come back and start posting once again!
I like and respect Maij a lot, however, I really felt his site was anti-CQ! Of course, after the WC, and everything building up to AC...I now feel Maij and his support staff were dead right about CQ.
I mean I just read on the front page of PFDC that Mr. CQ believes AC will be a tougher task than the one we had in WC? Who is he fooling? Any one of the WC participants could easily win the entire AC...no doubt about it. I mean just our group opponents would be 100% guaranteed Asian Champs if they brought their WC squads to our Asian competition. I hope CQ is trying to play the opposition and fool the other teams, but it's really not inspiring or confidence enhancing to hear our world class $2.5 million coach state that he feels AC will be tougher than WC
Remember RESPECT BEGETS RESPECT & Zob Ahan
I don't see how anyone could agree with this article. So if CQ made a promise to win the AC all would be well?
I don't get why we should expect a manager to promise something. Didn't Korea's manager promise to beat us and put UZB through? What did that do? It made our team want to win even more. So why should CQ make a promise and ignite some spark in our opponents?
راه یکی است و آن راستی است
Abtin
The frinedlies vs. S.Korea,Palestine and Iraq are for sure and have been aknowledged by those other countries as well
Only the S.Africa camp opponents are not yet known yet
What is he supposed to say? "Yes we are going to easily win the asian cup" "we will be up 2-1 in the final vs Japan and after 4 minutes of stoppage time and grass rolling we will win it in style"I like and respect Maij a lot, however, I really felt his site was anti-CQ! Of course, after the WC, and everything building up to AC...I now feel Maij and his support staff were dead right about CQ.

Obviously he is going to say something like its going to be tough all professional coaches would. If he says something like the korea coach he will just get the opponents fired up and something similar to what we did to korea could happen
