      Lol, that was an obvious mistake. I meant Croatia, not sure how it ended up as Russia.

        Wow... it must have a hidden meaning.

        Croatia starts with C.
        C is the third letter in the alphabet.
        A triangle has three sides....

        ... OMG

            I didn't know there is a big Chinese population in Germany...
            We are currently witnessing a revolution in Iranian football. Team Melli has never been stronger than it is today, and we will only get better.

                  Very mature...

                  I did the research.
                  According to a study in 2013, there are 107,000 Chinese people living in Germany.
                  If you take the current population of 80,716,000 (2014), that would give you a percentage of 0.1 of the population.
                  So I don't think it was necessarily for publicity as there aren't enough Chinese people in Germany to make a huge dividend in the profits of the club.
                  He probably wasn't good enough

                  While if we considered a situation where an Iranian player went and played for LA Galaxy, that would make more sense for financial prosperity of the club.
                  There are about 400,000 Iranians in LA and the population of the city is almost 4 millions people.
                  Thus 1/10th of the population is Iranian and would probably come out in huge droves to see the Iranian player at LA galaxy.

                        You're just so cute with your studies and copy/pasting Javeed Joonam Pesareh Gol, you are soooo right, but Kiarash wasn't referencing the transfer being a result of Wolfsburg trying to cater to some large Chinese demo in that city or country. Rather, he was meaning that the Chinese league (and industries and government) are incentivizing better leagues to buy their players to make their football seem more powerful.

                        It's like Barcelona signing a Qatari player (since they are sponsored by Qatar Airways). Next, you may want to Google the Qatari population in the Catalan region of Spain, but rest assured my good friend Javeed, pesareh golham. There isn't a huge Qatari population in Spain. Rather, they would sign such a player for economic reasons.

                        That is what Kiarash was implying. I know it is really difficult to understand. His comment took me a good 4-5 hours to really figure out, as it was so complicated, but thank you again for your beautiful and bountiful offering of factoids and random meaningless numbers.

                        My day on PFDC wouldn't have been made without you posting that.









                        Oh, and I love you Javeed Let's run away together.

                          Same as Effat said and this also

                          If you have some basic knowledge about football business and Iranian relations you could avoid this comment.

                          1. Buying Chinese player could have cause Chinese TV stations to buy German sport program (air time rights) and possibly brings Chinese advertisement. China has the highest population on earth and buying Shirt business will be lucrative deal for the German club. Finally, it doesn't matter how many Chinese live in Germany, what matter is how many Chinese live in Euro zone (visa free) and how many are traveling as tourists and willing to watch a football match in Germany.

                          2. Iran and US has no relations and obtaining a working permit (visa) in US has been always a pain in the butt for Iranian players and the American clubs. That is why many Iranians or American clubs avoid this.

                            Confirmed that the intercontinental playoff for the 5th place team in Asia will play the 4th place team in CONCACAF. Huge opportunity for Asia as any of Iran, Uzbekistan, China, Saudi, UAE etc would have a chance against Jamaica/Trinidad/Honduras
