first match up between the two countries.

[Sam van Dam]

Hosseinneejad needs to start this game
he has raw talent idk what GM has against him

[webmaster]

Another loss is coming up. But I bet you GN will not be replaced.

[The]

After the Navad episode yesterday, GN is going to be even more lajbaz and play only geezers.

He's going to play Noorafkan at LB, move Nemati to CB alongside Shoja.

I think it will be a 1-1 draw.

Just to highlight the absolute the dog**** standard Iranians are used to because of own to 'Marg bar Amrika' and because of corruption....

Japan beat Brazil today in a friendly 3-2.

Correction, they were down 2-0 and CAME BACK with 3 unanswered goals.

GN is going to celebrate a 'cleverly chosen" win over a domestic Tanzania side.

Just to highlight, the best performance Iran has had in a world cup (2018) was under the Marg bar Amrika regime.
The highest FIFA ranking we've held was under I.R also.

I'm no fan of most of I.R's policies, but please for the love god can we please stop this "DAE think I.R sucks" stuff in every single football thread?

I can't tell if Abarghouei is injured or GN doesn't like him but it seems Shoja will start again!

Your argument is a bit skewed. The Iranian league was considered a semi pro league before 2001. In the 70’s only 1 team from Asia actually qualified for the word cup. Naturally at a certain point we were going to have an ascension in our footballing capabilities. But today we have truly fallen off that cliff we were on 7 years ago. And part of it has to do with the refusal of hiring a competent foreign coach.

if these two players Allahyar, and hosseinnajad, do not start this games , you can be sure with absolutely zero doubt that GN being instructed by Taremi and JB not to play them cause you know they will score and once you score in Team melli then very difficult to forget about a hot player , and the rest be history…


Just remind they don’t start the fix is in .
Allahyar Sayyadmanesh and Mohammadjavad Hosseinnejhad


he will play some stupid combination to prove the young players don’t belong watch …

The Fifa Coca Cola ranking was established in 1993, 14 years after the I.R occupation and the best performance we had in 2018 was ONLY because of a PORTUGISE man in Carlos Queiroz and nothing else.

We have become a shithole nation because of a bunch of anti iranian mullah meymoons, what are you trying to whitewash?

We won the Asian cup three times in a row in 1968,72 and 76 and qualified for WC 1978 as the only nation from Asia, we where the hosts for the Asian games and was the favourite to host the summer olympics in 1984, all this during the Shah.

The I.R has brought nothing but goh to our nation in every sector and its really funny that you lowkey trying to give them cred for wc 2018 and the Fifa rankings that not even existed before 1993

I'm talking about the overlying mentality which undeniably is of incompetence, corruption, and and 'harf harfe mane' which is everything GN and IFF encompasses. It's all so predictable and infuriating.

2018 clearly was CQs mentality and our best squad after SEVEN years of work.

Let me drop some truths for you:
1) Because of Ezatolahi's dad working at IFF his lard *** will be our CDM until he is 35 at least.

2) The recent increase in "has-been" footballers from Europe to PGL is because instead of working on youth academies, fix pitches they just want to shut up domestic league fans long enough to continue their own corruption

3) We are getting wrecked at the World Cup barring a Godsend of an easy group.

4) I am sure despite your and my busy lives we could outrun Jahanbakhsh for most loose balls
