AFC Champions league™ ¦ 2023 - 2024

Can someone explain to me why they are butt hurt over a statue?

Because you aren't technically allowed to use international matches for political propaganda (although many countries do it anyways and FIFA doesn't give a shit)

Can someone plz explain the context behind this issue? Why the F*** do we need a statue of a terrorist in the stadium anyway? Freaking IR man…..

[Hosseini]

Until they see who writes their Cheques.

this is afc man.

I actually think there's no dodging this one. Refs and such were all there, fans, all was cleared to go. But we'll see what happens

چون اونایی که تو ایران در قدرتند فقط بلدند مردم آزاری کنند و چرت بگن. البته اگه عکس خامنه ای جنایت کارتو ورزشگاه هست، پسچرا به اینهم گیر میدن؟

Seriously, we see mass murderer terrorists Khomeini and Khamenei in every frigging Iranian match - but bringing Qassem the kotlet terrorists is what gets everyone excited and vexxed?

Play the match.

All the Arabs have their dictators on their stadiums too.

So the game is canceled or not ????

How does the statue of Soleimani affect the Saudi team?

Always drama...normally a clear 3-0 for Sepahan, but AFC will find a way to turn that around.

Reza jan these arabs are professional because they use foreign based staff with great experience. What does the rules say about this ?? Sadly the way i see it is that sepahan losing 3 -0 because I have more trust in their staff professionalism than our teams.

[Hosseini]

The game is canceled. Saudis are headed back to the airport

[Nokhodi]

How does the statue of Soleimani affect the Saudi team?

dude I don’t think most of their club could tell the difference between saddam, Khomeini and MBS.
this is direction from club officials probably.

[Farhad21]

How does the statue of Soleimani affect the Saudi team?

because Saudi is a u.s puppet state, they have to obey their master joe biden

[Hosseini]

It's honestly kind of surprising given the smoothing of relations between Saudi and Iran they'd get so pissed over something like this, the guy died 3 years ago

It makes me think they actually were afraid to play Sepahan in that environment

Everyday when you think something crazy cant get more insane in AFC, it gets topped

I get that….I think they should play also obviously. My question is more specifically trying to see if I’m missing anything that soleimani did towards Saudi Arabia that I don’t know about. They have their dictators all over their stadiums and we have all our terrorists too so agree nothing new or special about this…..just wondering if soleimani has any kind of significance for these Arabs specifically.

Yes. Qasem cutlet is definitely hated in Iran more but what does this have to do with soccer and sports. If AFC wants to stop politics in stadiums; then all khomeini, Khamenei, Fahad, Assad, Kim Joung Il, Malek Fahad and all dictators gotta go down. And also, I am wondering why they are doing this anyways? This terrorist had no damage to Saudis but the Iranian people. People should have destroyed his statue. I found this news a bit suspicious. What are the sources? Because regardless of how much everyone hates Qasem Cutlet; the match will be 3-0 for Sepahan.
