They're a very inconsistent team. They surprisingly beat Qatar and Bahrain 4-0 last April and later lost to Jordan 10-0. In 2013, they lost to Jordan 6-2 and 4-0, lost to Chinese Taipei 6-0 and to Myanmar 9-0!Originally Posted by Ab-Gosht
I grabbed those games from FIFA.com and don't know the details of their VERY surprising high-margin wins against Qatar and Bahrain. Would be good to know what happened there.
they have problems to get access to their own players. some games they have them some they dont
are those Futsal scores for the Palestinian team or what ???
Sounds very unlikely for the to loose to Myanmar 9-0 ????
LOL. Now that you mention it, they were the women's results! Sorry about that boys, I just searched "FIFA.com palestine results and fixtures" and that's where it took me.
This is the men's results in 2014 - pretty impressive list of games and friendlies if you ask me particularly for the Asian Cup (better than TM's any way, which is pretty sad):
That moment when Palestine has played more and perhaps better friendlies for Asian Cup preparation than Iran..
Imagne them becoming 2nd after Japan, meet Iran, and send Iran out.
Pretty impressive list of friendlies for them right before the Asian Cup (reverse order): Iran, China, Uzbekistan, Vietnam, Saudi Arabia!
It's pure embarrassment.
What happened to our pressumed match vs. South Africa ??
I though that was a done deal
"BLOCKED FIFA FUNDS COULD NOW FLOW TO IRAN’S NATIONAL SOCCER TEAM
DECEMBER 2, 2014
By Radio Zamaneh
The head of Iran’s Football Federation reports that Sepp Blatter, the head of the International Federation of Football Associations (FIFA), has announced that some of Iran’s money for football activities, which has been blocked due to the International sanctions, will now be released.
Ali Kafashian told reporters, after his return from the meeting of the Asian Football Confederation in the Philippines marking its 60th anniversary, that he had met on the sidelines of the event with Sepp Blatter and informed him that Iran’s Football Federation finds it difficult to support the national football team without access to FIFA funding.
Blatter has reportedly promised to release some of the blocked funding.
Iran is eligible for $7 million to $8 million in FIFA funds, which are allotted to teams that reach the World Cup. The funding is aimed at helping prepare the team for the games.
Sanctions on Iran’s financial sector have significantly restricted Iran’s ability to be a part of any international transaction.
The interim deal reached in November 2013 between Iran and the world powers entails some easing of sanctions, which has allowed the release of some of Iran’s frozen assets in foreign banks and let some of Iran’s debtors make payments."
