TM NEWS - VOL 8

[Karimi 8]

Guys tensions are high, we are not each others enemies. We all want the same thing, stop arguing and going at each other.

You’re on a Persian football forum. This isn’t where a revolution is going to happen. This is where Iranians gather to watch and discuss their national team.

However you feel, about whether you should or should not support the team, that’s your choice and you can’t enforce it on someone else. If you don’t want to support the team, that’s fine, don’t come on the forum and don’t discourage someone else that wants to.

if you support the team, that doesn’t make you a bad person or a supporter of the regime. I am going to the World Cup games (should they happen). it’s been my dream to see the national team play in the WC, and I also believe their presence can bring more attention to our country’s situation rather than them not going and just getting forgotten about. I argued the same thing for 2022 (look what the women team were able to do with their presence).

I am here to also have 90 minutes break from politics, and interact with football fans. Some random person online is not your enemy or the reason our people are suffering.

Now let’s talk football. The Nigeria game was awful to watch and our tactics made zero sense. Our first half against Costa Rica was great. I still remember our last game against Costa Rica when we wore the white shirts and red shorts and Ali Karimi scored. Do you know if the tournament ends here or we also get to play Jordan?

How can we separate it if the regime doesn't? I had the same opinion as you many years ago but now if you see players like Azmoun not getting invited it just shows how useless it is to support this team. I lost all my interest. We only expect them to refuse the invitation. Nobody has to talk, just don't play anymore. What are they afraid of? They still get paid by their clubs.

Damet garm, this is 1+1=2 logic

[Artaxerxes]

In Germany, we keep football separate from politics. Or we try it since 2022 lol. Unfortunately, Iranians don’t have that ability. It’s always all about us. You’re sitting abroad, feet up on the table, wanting the lads in the national team to speak out against this shitty regime and put themselves and their families in danger.
Why don’t you do something? This government must fall. So buy a ticket and take to the streets, or are you just all talk?

Yes, the government uses the team for propaganda. But let’s not forget how brave the lads were in Qatar 2022. Let’s not forget that many of these lads are against the government and, when the World Cup kicks off, will hopefully take a stand against this government once again.

Baba leave us with that washed up"argument " "why dont you do something....."

No we dont expect them to shout "Marg bar kolle nezam" but we can expect them to say f*ck you when IFF sends the invitation, that wont cost them sh*t.

But The majority of them are irgc/ eslatalab khayemals.

F this team and flag

Guys, if you hate the football so much, what do you think you will get from little potshots against us who support TM?

For me personally, it wont' stop me from supporting TM, but it will mean I wont' discuss it with any of you who get so mad at us for it.

We're not the enemy.

Nobody is calling you "the enemy " but i personaly find it quite interesting that you hate I.R but supports and follows a I.R khayemal team who instead of decline the invitation to play for the filthy anti iranian crab flag who massacred 30,40,50 000 iranians in january they approve to play and be used as a tool for their IRGC propaganda.

You cant have the cake and eat it.

This time around to many red lines have been crossed.

[fary-jupiter]

Because most of us here does not give a damn about this IRGC khayemal team after all these past events since january until now, i really cant get how some of you still do.

Bombs are raining and IRGC meymoons just brought in shia apes from Iraq to murder our people if they take to the streets again but some of you want a thread to follow if some crap regimi player manage two passes in a row.

Each to their own i guess....

Give them a last chance. Im sure we will see a positive gesture against IRI on this WC.

There will be a change.

Dont know about the passes lol

[Ghormesabzi]

The people here who are discussing football on a football forum are not the reason why Iran is run by assholes. Most if not all of us here want the regime gone, but arguing here won't lead to a revolution.

Personally, I don't feel excited at all for the WC and don't care much due to what's happening, but I never want TM to lose.

The only thing that will change my mind is if the players actively take actions to willingly show support for the regime. We all know that the players are pressured/forced into singing the national anthem for instance. It couldn't have been more obvious in the last WC when none of them sang prior to the England game, and then all of a sudden they were all singing before playing Wales as if they magically became regime lovers in a few days.

To the keyboard warriors here who are attacking other members, why don't you take a flight to Turkey, cross the border into Iran and help getting the revolution started? I'm sure the people who actually live in Iran need any help they can get.

It baffles me why people log into a football forum to complain about people discussing football...

[koorosh]

It is important not to lose sight of the real enemy.

Calling those who disagree with us names and labels does nothing but divide and weaken us.

Why wasn't there a match thread for Nigeria, and why don't I see one for Costa Rica?

Watching Belgium-USA right now.

US teams physicality is crazy good but Doku is still tearing up the RB. Also Belgiums transition play is very good with De Bruyne as a pivot.

Doesn't matter who they put at RB for us its a major weak point against Doku and Belgium.

Belgian defenders on the other hand are kind of on slower side

For Doku, Gholizadeh said it best. Needs to have two players on him all game.

ESPN is claiming 9AM EST(NY time).

16:30 Tehran time.

According to google the game is at 6 AM EST....but like the last game the time might change.
