Iran - Russia Friendly Thread

[perspolis#1]

If we win narrowly I expect Ghalenoei to say "Do you remember this is the same Russian team that beat Spain in penalties in 2018"

Do you know if Sardars partner in crime from his Zenit days Dzuba still playing?

He is not in the camp

[Artaxerxes]

They're similar to a very good Asian team.
I would say if they still played in Europe, they would be a lot better.
Golovin (Monaco) is injured.

Does anyone even know the quality of this Russian team?

Their goalie is the second string PSG goalkeeper so hes decent.

The rest play for top 5 clubs of Russia so they will be better than Kyrgyzstan or North Korea. I would say probably Uzbekistan level honestly

That’s a good question I assume the players might be decent overall but as a national team they have very limited matches together.

Anyone have links to the match stream?

GN said, "all tickets sold for the game" shows how strong Iran is. That is certainly not true under his coaching. I think it means how desperate Russians are for getting back into the world stage and watching their team play.

Very true. Their media is saying this is the first decent game they've had in a very long time.

Hi guys, long time!

I can't watch the game live. Is anyone going to post the full match after or any place to watch it?

I've been a bit out of the scene! LOL

I have seen a number of football sites reporting start time for the game to be 17:00 UTC which translates to 10:00am PST and 1:00pm EST.

The game is at 10 AM PST for those on west coast

Thank you gentlemen. I've adjusted the time.

For those interested, this is a summary of Iran's game with the Soviet Union which took place in Sep of 1978 after TM had returned from the 1978 WC in Argentina.

This was also the last game TM played before the Revolution.
