TM NEWS - VOL 8

[fary-jupiter]

That´s true, but I think that most of us can acknowledge that recent events is on a whole other scale and that the players (and fans) should not play or cheer for this propaganda team.

No player will have the guts to do anything to support the people during the friendlies or WC, which is totally understandable. They just should´nt be there in the first place.

Like i wrote many times, i think the opposite is the case. they need to be there so Iran stays relevant.

I truely believe TM can have a positive outcome for iranians.

But if they do propaganda bullshit in the wc, then i will also stop support them.

This perspective irks me, but everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I respect that.
The players play for their people or themselves. Who said it is for the regime? If the LA Seattle games happen, I hope people like you are not there. Stay home

My thoughts exactly it so frustrating. Also I think not playing / boycotting an event is much worse than going. Because if you are there you can actually
use it as a platform (if you decide to do so) to speak up.

I had the same feelings when everyone was turning on the players and booing them during the last WC.

I have tickets for the LA games, hoping I’ll be able to attend them and enjoy it my way.

I don't know if already posted, but an interesting ESPN discussion on Iran in the world cup. They seem pretty informed on the current situation as outsiders, including that people have started associating the team with IR and interest in TM has dropped dramatically among Iranians compared to the past.

Just watched a clip from Iranian media complaining that Afshin Peyravani (USA)and Souroush Rafei (Canada) have left the country. They are so upset and basically calling them traitors. This is getting good. lol

Also the PR machine is at work from the Taremi jersey swap controversy. Taremi is claiming that after each match a team re-resrntaive collects all the jerseys in the locker room and that member was the one that gave the jersey without Taremi’s knowledge.

During WC 2022, I stood by TM while many Iranian called them the IR team. I told them that these are the best football players in Iran and if another regime came about, they would still play these same players.

2026. It is not like the last 47 years at all. The people of Iran are done with IR. The ordinary people of Iran took to the streets and paid with their blood.

Not asking that the Athletes do the same but the least they could do is refuse to sing that anthem and honor that flag.

But as u can see from our Women's TM, they can't even do that because of threats to their families. That is why even the 7 that were given asylum had to return. Ezzatolahi has previously alluded to the pressure put on them.

There is only one thing the players can do, short of putting themselves and families at harm...that is to refuse to play.

As the regime has said...if you can't sing the anthem, stay home.

Whomever plays for this team today betrays the blood of all those who were murdered just 2 months ago.

Spot on!

It really baffles me how some still have even 1% of interest in this IRGC khayemal team after these 3+ months, this events since january is nothing like before.

To cheer for this team as a fan and willing to represent this anti iranian flag and anthem as a player after all this is disgusting, this is my opinion.

How in hell can you for example support a team whit players like meymoon Torabi in it and cheer for him when he openly said that he would shoot unarmed iranians on the streets in 2022 for his now kotlett daste cholagh rahbar?

F this team and that disgusting flag and anthem.

Torabi never said that.
All his rahbari stuff comes from a 2019 goal celebration where he lifted his shirt and the undershirt says "tanha rahe nejate keshvar, eta'at az rahbari".
It was stupid and dumb, but he really hasn't said much since then.

He said that in 2022 during the Mahsa Amini protest, and lets say he did not say that, when he says tanha rahe nejate keshvar, eta'at az rahbari". It means he is all for the IRGC to murder iranians, because that is exactly what his daste cholagh rahbar ordered to do and what I.R have been doing non stop for almost half a century.

I was one of those fans who supported TM in Qatar 2022 but this time around its totaly different and we have crossed red lines we never can come back from.

You have to be plain stupid or a I.R khayemal if you still are willing to represent I.R Iran as a athlete after this massacre.

Nokhodi, brother, just for everyone’s sake here say marg bar jumhoory eshali.

Im just messing around.

Former TM coach Carlos Queiroz has parted ways as head coach of the Oman national team:

https://www.thenationalnews.com/sport/football/2026/03/24/carlos-queiroz-parts-ways-with-oman-and-replaced-by-tarik-sektioui/

According to local reports, Queiroz stepped down last week due to concerns over the regional conflict that has seen Oman become a target, along with its Gulf neighbours, for retaliatory Iran strikes following US-Israeli attacks on Tehran.

"I would like to express my sincere and profound gratitude to the players of the Oman national team, the Football Federation of Oman, and the people and passionate fans of Oman for the honour and privilege of serving the national team," Queiroz said.
