How do you want Iran to perform in the WC?

[Bavafa]

Nobody is saying football matters more than freedom. I don’t think anyone actually believes that and I don’t think that’s what the poll was really about either.

People are pouring genuine pain into this space and you just have to respect that. But if the argument is that Team Melli doing well at the World Cup is what keeps this regime standing, then that’s a pretty damning admission about how weak the movement actually is. A government that has been brutalizing its own people for 47 years doesn’t survive because of a football result. If it’s that fragile, we have much bigger problems than this poll.

You’re not raising awareness here. Everyone in this forum already knows the regime and its supporters are evil. Sure you bring individual players and actions to light but that’s not the debate. So the question is what are we actually accomplishing by tearing into each other in this space? Look at how many people used to come through here and look at it now. That drop isn’t just apathy. Some of it is this. People get exhausted and they leave.

I’ve been going to protests. I can tell you the crowds are getting smaller, not bigger. That’s where the energy needs to go. Not here.

One last thing. I used the term overwhelming majority earlier and that wasn’t precise. Two thirds is a supermajority.

Man az senne bachegi ta emrooz kollan shayad do-se baazie TM raa az dast dadaam, on ham baazihaaye doostaneh ba masalan Indonesia ya Hong Kong.
Amma dige yek hesse daroone man mordeh; va fekr mikonam bekhaatere in ast ke omide shekaste in regime shieye khonkhaar dige morde.
Va baraye hamin dige TM ham hich shaadii be man nemide - va bish az har hich shode yek abzaare hokomate fascisti.
Bi-khiaal.

Aguante la Albiceleste.

I hear you bro, but did you have to choose one of the most racist, whitewashing, and football-racism notorious countries.

Hey I like Argentina...

You must be Brazilian! Or maybe English??

This is the probable result for the IR against Begium. They are not better than Tunisia for sure.

I want Iran to win every game, because team melli belongs to the people and the people only. It doesn't matter which regime is in power, or how that regime tries to manipulate or use the team to their own advantage.

I have no evidence but I wouldn't be surprised if the anti-team melli venom on social media is a coordinated US/Israeli campaign to further divide Iranians.

These boys have been put in a horrible position and have for the most part done nothing wrong.
