TM NEWS - VOL 8

[Pluto2000]

I can’t handle the embarrassment, this will be the first wc ever I’m not going to watch any of our games :/

Just do what I do. I am not going to any of the games even tho I'm in the US. Going to spend $30 on a large pizza and and kick it up in my living room . No money spent wasted going in person for a noorafkan sub at 70 min

[Super Shojaei]

Ohh totaly forgot that Panama and Haiti are from the same confederation, my bad.

In that case i would like a group like:

Canada
Iran
Panama
Ukraine/Albania

We also can’t get Bolivia or Suriname as they are in Iraq’s playoff zone

[Artaxerxes]

No.

We can only get max 1 of them.

There will be one European team in our group 1000% guaranteed.

So if we end up getting USA/Mexico/Canada in Pot 1.

One of our Pot 3 or Pot 4 teams HAS to be European.

[perspolis#1]

No.

Very well said 👏👏👏.

"Let’s talk FACTS hey?

• Iran was one of the fastest-growing economies in the 1960s–70s; today it struggles with inflation over 40–50% annually.
• Before 1979, Iran’s passport ranked among the strongest in Asia; today it’s among the weakest globally.
• Iran’s football (soccer) was once the pride of Asia; decades of mismanagement and corruption have stalled its progress"

I am not bashing you for not being a monarchist here bro, but all this above is thanks to the Pahlavi monarchy.

I just hope one day the people and the ballot boxes can decide our future and nothing or nobody else so we really can see what our people wants, monarchy, republic or whatever.

And for the WC 2026, the only thing that can save our aberoo is a lucky draw like

Canada
Iran
Panama
Curacao/Haiti

Imagine if we get

France
Iran
Norway
Ghana

is it possible to get Canada , Haiti and Panama in the same group?

[Pluto2000]

Something we don't talk a lot about but is a big problem in this TM is the massive lack of mentally stable leadership.

We used to have Haj Safi, Ansarifard, Ebrahimi, and PAG who were very good at calming up all the bache naneh in TM and being locker room leaders.

Now the captain's armband has gone through 6 different players in the last year: Taremi, Sardar, Eza, Ghoddos, Beiranvand, and ARJ. Besides the last one, none of those people have the mental maturity to actually be a captain, especially Taremi.

In addition to that, the locker room leaders are now people like Shoja and Beiranvand who are not anywhere close to being leaders....

I would personally drop Noorafkan for Haj Safi (he's still better than Milad) and find somewhere to squeeze in PAG if I was the head coach for TM. They still play fine but their impact off the pitch would be much more 🤷

[Tarsal Claw]

If anyone thinks any of our first round “randomly drawn” games will not be in Mexico or Canada, you are a fool!

[Artaxerxes]

Seriously?!!

Before throwing such labels around, let’s be honest about something:

What about the mullahs in Iran and their incompetent, corrupt, and inhumane system?

Is Iran today really some “Gol-o-Bolbol” paradise? Of course not.

Iran’s problems—economic collapse, social repression, brain drain, and even the fall of its once-strong football culture—are all direct results of its own theocratic regime, not the United States.

Some people act as if being boycotted by the U.S. is a badge of honor.

This mindset comes straight from the Basiji playbook—the same propaganda that tells people the U.S. is “The Great Satan,” while conveniently ignoring the real source of Iran’s suffering:

Ayatollahs and the theocratic system that has destroyed the country from within.

Let’s talk FACTS hey?

• Iran was one of the fastest-growing economies in the 1960s–70s; today it struggles with inflation over 40–50% annually.
• Before 1979, Iran’s passport ranked among the strongest in Asia; today it’s among the weakest globally.
• Iran’s football (soccer) was once the pride of Asia; decades of mismanagement and corruption have stalled its progress.
• Over 7 million Iranians have emigrated in the last 40 years — one of the highest brain-drain levels in the world.
• The regime imprisons journalists, executes protesters, and allocates national wealth to militias instead of citizens.

With all of this, blaming the U.S. for Iran’s problems is not only inaccurate — it’s harmful.

This mentality keeps the real enemy of the Iranian people off the hook:

The Islamic Republic and its theocratic rulers.

And let me be clear at the end:

Don’t take me wrong — I am not a monarchist and never have been.

I am not a Trumpist or a fan of his populism either. Yes, he is a controversial figure, but the mullahs are far, far worse. I’m simply stating facts. I’m not interested in diving into endless debates about which political era was “better,” because this forum is not the place for that, and it becomes a repetitive, pointless argument.

But you’ve surely heard the famous Iranian saying:

“Mullāhā rūye Changiz râ ham sefid kardand!”

(The mullahs even made Genghis Khan look good!)

These incompetent creatures are the main architects of Iran’s failure.

Very well said 👏👏👏.

No facts... just a theory who comes all by yourself.

And lets say there is a little bit of truth:

Tingeltangel-nejad has nothing to do against infatino. Nobady cares about her, only some few iranians.

Trump is a buisness man and doesnt want any bad publicity. there are enoug people who criticize a WC under him. In the end, our players will get their Visa. (Even when the world dont cares about TM, but luckily fifa somehowe does)

When it comes to a UAE, i think they rather would give it to a team who is in the Continental Playoffs, doesnt have to be asian.

Guys, dont let those rumors get to you again. We will play.

Our only concern should be GN as our coach right now when it comes to football.

I hear you bro. I hope so. Khoda as dahanat beshnavad. 🙏 I said it in the beginning: I hope I am wrong.

[arasradio]

Honestly not giving iran visa is a blessing and therefore not going to the world cup is a blessing. 1. USA is a trash country and they get in a bad light (they already have a bad reputation, I met Americans in Europe and they are ashamed they from that damn country. 2. Ghalenoei doesn't give us the opportunity to humiliate ourself. Lol did I read Masih Alinejad? Is she still alive?

Seriously?!!

[fary-jupiter]

Sorry bro. This time is different. It’s trump time and Masih Alinejad and co are diligently at work to ban Iran. And people are not that supportive and UAE lobby is doing anything so when Iraq qualifies through playoff; UAE is replaced. I hope I am wrong.

[arasradio]

Worst scenario: Iran ending up in Canada
Second worst: : Iran ending up in US
BEST Scenario: Iran ending up in Mexico

let’s just hope

[arasradio]

please stop that "iran will not play at the world cup" topic, every time before the WC. We are playing.
